Near the end of WW2, Lancasters were used in what were some of the first ever airborne humanitarian aid operations. The most famous is food supply drops over Holland known as Operation Manna when Lancasters made urgently needed food drops at very low level to relieve famine.

1st production B.1 Vulcan Farnborough Airshow, 1956. too advanced in production to be fitted with phase 2 wing, but in 1956 fitted with kinked and drooped leading edge to wings. In Mar 1956, underwent acceptance trials for Certificate of Airworthiness and cleared for RAF service

Eighty years later, we remember Operation Manna, where Canadian and Allied aircrews brought hope and survival to thousands by dropping food to starving civilians in occupied Netherlands 🇳🇱.
