Title
Lancaster commemorative drawing and spoof photograph
Aiming Point Certificate
Description
A drawing and a photograph both mounted on an album page.
Left: A commemorative sketch of a Lancaster flying above clouds or smoke, with its bomb bay doors open. Below is written: 'SGT BROOME. F/LT WALKER. SGT WARD. 44 SQUADRON TURIN. 4/5.2.43, SGT DAVIES. F/SGT CHARNOCK. SGT GOLDSMITH. SGT HUBBARD'.
Right: A humorous composite photograph of a five-man crew aboard a flying carpet. A pilot in white flying suit, seated on a parachute and holding a broom stick as a control column; an airman kneeling and looking through a telescope with his cap reversed; an airman crouched and pointing downwards while another airman operates a camera; finally, an NCO airman firing a machine gun. There is also a signpost indicating Berlin in one direction and Waddington in the other, a 'Keep Left' sign and a flock of birds. All this set on a background of clouds.
