Lancaster G-AHJW (top - ex ED866) acts as the tanker as G-AHJU (ex LM681) acts as receiver. Note the fuel pipe being drawn towards the orifice under the tailplane using a steel cable. G-AHJW was lost in a crash near Andover Hants on 22 November 1948. Obtained from Flight Refuelling Ltd over 50 years ago.
