460 Squadron was formed in November 1941, flying as part of the RAF Bomber Command in Europe. “G for George” Striking by Night at the Australian War Memorial – ANZAC Hall (photo taken during my January 2016 visit)
Its first mission was on December 6th, 1942 over Mannheim, Germany. 460 Squadron based at Breighton in Yorkshire on October 27th. This bomber (serial number W4783) was constructed by Metropolitan Vickers Ltd in Manchester, UK in 1942 and delivered to RAAF No. The centrepiece of the Striking by Night exhibition at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra is the multimedia sound and light show which re-creates a night bombing operation over Berlin in December 1943 featuring the beautifully restored World War Two era Avro Lancaster Mk.I bomber with the call sign “ G for George“.
