Eric Ronald Harper enlisted just after his 18th birthday in May 1940. He trained as an Air Observer (Navigator) with 207 Sqn, Bomber Command, and went on to fly many missions in WW2. We honour his memory and delve into his story.

Amazing to see one of only two air-worthy Avro Lancaster's yesterday in Kent. Built in 1945 (yes, 1945!!!) this machine is 80yrs old and restoration work hopes to keep it flying into 2065. What an amazing machine.

Can anyone provide any info (no matter how sparse it may be) on this aircraft? Writing on the back says he is in a Halifax …. Tiny photo so apologies for quality.
