The Avro Lincoln was a long-range, high altitude
version of
the earlier Avro Lancaster four-engined bomber.
The first
Lincoln flew on June 9, 1944, and operational squadrons
were preparing to join in the war in the far East, when the
was was ended.
Although the Lincoln
did not take part in World War II, one
Lincoln (RF345) was shot down by Russian MIG-15 jet fighters
on a training flight near East Germany in 1957. RAF Lincolns
were operational in Malaya and Kenya.
Lincolns were the last piston-engined bombers
of the RAF
and were phased out of service in the late 1950s.
604 examples were built,
including one assembled in Canada
and fifty-four built in Australia for RAAF service.
The CD includes the
