Avro Lancastrian tales

This might be of interest. This is a picture taken of my old friend Reg Langtry at the controls of a Lancastrian of BSAA. His log book dates this as April 1947 and it would either be G-AGWK or G-AHCD. It shows he flew both of these aircraft on local training flights from London with Captain Griffin who you can just see in the shot on the right.

He flew as a First Officer on the routes to South America and then as a Captain of a Tudor flying on the Berlin Airlift. He completed 147 trips to Berlin during this time.

He then returned to flying the Lancastrian and York before joining BOAC in 1951 on the Comet fleet.
