What a fantastic photo, I saw this very plane in the hangar at RAF Coningsby on a recent visit from our local British Legion and was thrilled to stand underneath its bomb-bay. This is a photo of outstanding quality and I'm proud to say I saw it in real life along with the other planes in the Battle of Britain Flight. JI

I actually went to those co-ordinates (52 20 10.87N 0 11 43.34W) on Google Earth and there is no evidence of this Lancaster in the satelite image, perhaps a newer satelite image has replaced the old one????

Thanks for saving this image (from an earlier google earth image) for the record. Well done!

Thankyou VERY MUCH for saving this image from an earlier GE era. GE should preserve certain images regardless of age or current inaccuracy, because they contain irreplaceable juxtapositions. This is the prime example. I am DELIGHTED that you preserved it, and I thank you indeed. PLEASE don't delete this image, ever.

Mr Petronios, photo/picture, is, i believe in the correct coordinates.As mine,which is identical. But, his map pointer is a few degrees east, this is acceptable, unless going on a bombing raid. i was able to download the image from ggl/earth in 2005, when it was first noticed.it was actualy printed into a daily paper to show the public. it was a very noticable talking point for a time. the co-ordinates are. 52'20'10.83'N BY 0'11'43,42'W - ELEVATION 44ft - EYE ALTITUDE 351ft These figures were provided with the photo, at the time of publication.Never the less, it is a very rare view of a plane that was a major tool in Britains survival kit, we should be proud to know that we still have one that flies and reminds us of the many sacrifices made by the men who never got back home. long may she fly!(City of Lincoln).

Maybe these guys are on their way to bomb Jerry. "We shall fight with great confidence and strength in the air! We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields, and the streets, we shall fight in the hills...we shall never surrender!" -Churchill
