From a total of over 7,300 Lancasters produced during WWII only 35 completed more than 100 combat missions. The highest number (140) was achieved by ED888, yet she was tragically not selected for preservation and scrapped during Jan. 1947. The venerable R5868 flew 137 combat missions making her the most successful Lancaster still extant.

This aircraft went on to become No 342 of the Chilean Air Force and, as such, crashed in Patagonia on 25th May, 1983. The negative had gone mouldy but has been recovered using Photoshop.
