Manchester to Shackleton: the Lancaster Bomber Family Tree

Manchester. Lancaster. Lincoln. Lancastrian. York. Tudor. Shackleton... To most, this is simply a list of obscure names. But to some, these are the beloved branches of a family tree of bombers, airborne early warning, and maritime reconnaissance aircraft that extends from World War II well into the Cold War. On this episode, Mr. Graham Barber explains the Avro Lancaster family tree, culminating in the Shackleton (AEW2 WR963) being restored and frequently started to keep the legacy of these magnificent British aircraft alive and well.
