Notes
Delivered new to No. 101 Squadron in September 1943 and christened ‘The Saint’ by her first crew, Lancaster III DV245 (SR-S) flew well over a hundred operations. No. 101 was the special-duties squadron whose Lancasters carried ‘Airborne Cigar’ (ABC) jamming equipment and an extra German-speaking operator to disrupt enemy night-fighter control, so its aircraft flew on almost every major raid. DV245 was finally lost on operations on 23 March 1945, in the closing weeks of the war.
