Had a very good visit with my sports car club to East Kirkby to see their Lancaster Just Jane fire up and do some taxi runs. Tremendous to watch from close quarters, well done all the staff there. Icing on the cake was meeting Sergeant Len Manning rear gunner from 57 Squadron who operated from there. Had the opportunity to hear of his bailing out on his third op and evasion from capture in France all at the age of 19, Len is 92 now but you would never guess that looking at him. A Google search using his name will bring up more details of his escapade. Nice display in the Hangar about him which includes the MIA telegram his Mother received.
