Avro Lancaster S-for-Sugar being prepared for its 97th mission. Note the 4,000lb bomb in the centre of the scene.

The serial number R5868 is just visible to the right of the S, indicating that the aircraft was originally ordered from Metropolitan-Vickers at Trafford Park, Manchester as a Manchester Mk I, but was built as a Lancaster B Mk.I

Their factory in Trafford Park, Manchester, was for most of the 20th century one of the biggest and most important heavy engineering facilities in Britain and the world.
