Lancaster story

I don't usually like low-budget modern films about the RAF in what I still call the "last" war,
caught my eye for its special effects – particularly the Lancaster fronting the sunset.

​​Photos of the cast at East Kirkby show pretty accurate uniforms too, which makes a change. I hope it makes its apparently modest finance targets.

James Bolam has 'form' with regard to Bomber Command. I saw him in 'Bomber's Moon' in the Trafalgar Studios back in 2015, and he was excellent!:

Mike Harding's father was lost on a Lancaster mission a month before he was born. This is a homage to him ...
