| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar's prolific commemorative program has long relied on British military themes to drive collector sales, and this Lancaster issue is squarely part of that formula. The Avro Lancaster itself needs little introduction — it flew the majority of Bomber Command's wartime sorties, including the low-level Ruhr dams raid of May 1943 conducted by 617 Squadron using Barnes Wallis's bouncing bomb, a mission that destroyed two of three targeted dams and killed roughly 1,600 people downstream.
By 2007, fewer than seventeen airworthy or taxiable Lancasters survived globally.
