This Lancaster Mk.X was built at Victory Aircraft, Malton in July 1945 and was later converted to a RCAF 10MR configuration. In 1952, it suffered a serious accident and received a replacement wing center section from a Lancaster that had flown in combat over Germany.

The prototype Lancaster first flew in January 1941 and had a converted Manchester airframe with an enlarged wing center section and four 1145 hp Rolls-Royce Merlin Xs. The modifications were an immediate success and the first production Lancaster was flown in October 1941.
