A
TRIBUTE TO THE MEN WHO FLEW THE LANCASTER. The crews of
Bomber Command faced one of the most daunting tasks, calling
for courage sustained night after night, in conditions of
desperate danger and discomfort. They did not fail us and
55,573 paid the supreme sacrifice”. In his new tribute to
“The Many”, Robert Taylor’s evocative painting HIGH COST
recreates a typical scene encountered by many Royal Air
Force bomber squadrons on raids over enemy occupied
territory: Having already survived 30 successful operational
sorties, on 9 February 1945 Lancaster PG-G of 619 Squadron
has been intercepted by Luftwaffe night-fighters during a
raid over Stettin Bay.
