Adelaide airport visitor 1962

This Lanc flew in to Adelaide domestic airport late 1962 , then it flew out again.

 

The black exhaust trails under the wings would normally not be visible against the wartime black livery. Was the Merlin running rich ?

Mike,

i would say the exhaust trails are normal but showing up more on the white wings

I did some volunteer work on the one that was left in Perth. It was originally at the airport entrance then moved to the Bullcreek Aviation museum late 70's.

A lot of errors in the website. No mention of its French Maritime service and the black and white shot I believe is at the original location at the airport as you can just see the Mosquito on the left, which as far as I recall rotted away.

 

edit...

 

the original post of Lancaster WU16 is the one now in the museum over here
