This is a fantastic build of the Avro Lancaster Bomber by modelling friend  Dariusz Kowalczuk

This is also a tribute to the last pilot Squadron Leader Lawrence 'Benny' Goodman flew over 30 operations with 617 Squadron during the Second World War. The squadron is most famous for the 'Dambusters' raids on the Mohne and Eder Dams in 1943, Goodman took part in the raid on battleship the Tirpitz in October 1944, after it had earlier been heavily damaged. He also destroyed the Arnsberg railway viaduct with a 22,000lb Grand Slam bomb in March 1945. This hero was part of the team which tried to bomb Hitler's secluded 'Eagle's Nest' base in southern Germany.  Goodman was initially demobbed in 1946 but, with the urge to serve his country still strong, he then served in the Royal Auxiliary Air Force's 607 Squadron, where he flew Spitfires from RAF Hendon.

He then re-joined the regular RAF in 1948, when the Soviet Union blockaded access to the sections of Berlin which were under Western control.

The aggressive blockade led to British and American planes dropping thousands of tonnes of food and other supplies to German citizens.    

Benny eventually retired as a squadron leader in 1964 having logged over 3,500 hours on 22 different aircraft types.

He continued to hold a private pilot's license into his 90s.    

In 2017, France awarded him the Légion d'Honneur - their highest honour.

Spread your wings Squadron leader Goodman, this is your last Sortie. Return to the skies one last time, find the rest of your crew. We all thank you for your service, your honour, your valour, Your selflessness I will keep my eyes skyward with the chance to see you flying your faithful Lancaster one final time.
