Lancaster and Manchester Bomber

Final Fate - By Serial Number

Updated: June 2009

Major Sources:

• The Bomber Command War Dairies by Martin Middlebrook and Chris Everit
• Bomber Command Losses by W.R. Chorley
• Numerous other publications including Squadron ORB's and Form 78's

The following listings represents the final fate of each Avro Lancaster or Manchester Bomber airframe serial number.

The list is presented in alphabetical order sorting on the aircraft serial number. The classification section represents the final fate of the aircraft, followed by the date the airframe was Struck Of Charge. the final two columns indicates if the aircraft was lost on a Night or day time raid and what the target or other task the bomber was performing when lost. Where an airframe is listed a Scrapped, it can be assumed that this was done in England, the exception being the Canadian Mk.X Lancaster's which were by and large scrapped in Canada (FM and KB serial numbers).

Although I have made every effort to ensure an error free list, I regret that I am merely human and that I can blame only myself for tyop's or other mis entered information. I'm only to happy to hear of these inconsistencies and will be happy to fix any and all that are brought to my attention.
