Tonight I need to say thank you to Mr Charles Foster, nephew of David Maltby, pilot of 'our' Lancaster AJ-J. Through the Maltby family we now have a picture of what is almost certainly AJ-J in flight on a training flight shortly before the Dams raid in May 1943. The picture was taken by David's wife, Nina, at the family farm just outside Wickhambreaux in Kent. The building had a distinctive gable end which can be seen in the picture. Credit to the "Maltby family" for allowing us to use the pic. Personally I find it quite moving to be able to see the actual Lanc' we are following in the flightpath of when we make our trip to the Mohnesee!
