Lancaster

The Avro Lancaster arose from the avro Manchester and the first prototype Lancaster was a converted Manchester with four engines. The Lancaster was first flown in January 1941, and started operations in March 1942. By March 1945 The Royal Air Force had 56 squadrons of Lancasters with the first squadron equipped being No.44 Squadron. During World War Two the Avro Lancaster flew 156,000 sorties and dropped 618,378 tonnes of bombs between 1942 and 1945. Lancaster Bomberss took part in the devastating round-the-clock raids on Hamburg during Air Marshall Harris' Operation Gomorrah in July 1943. Just 35 Lancasters completed more than 100 successful operations each, and 3,249 were lost in action. The most successful survivor completed 139 operations, and the Lancaster was scrapped after the war in 1947. A few Lancasters were converted into tankers and the two tanker aircraft were joined by another converted Lancaster and were used in the Berlin Airlift, achieving 757 tanker sorties. A famous Lancaster bombing raid was the 1943 mission, codenamed Operation Chastise, to destroy the dams of the Ruhr Valley. The operation was carried out by 617 Squadron in modified Mk IIIs carrying special drum shaped bouncing bombs designed by Barnes Wallis. Also famous was a series of Lancaster attacks using Tallboy bombs against the German battleship Tirpitz, which first disabled and later sank the ship. The Lancaster bomber was the basis of the new Avro Lincoln bomber, initially known as the Lancaster IV and Lancaster V. (Becoming Lincoln B1 and B2 respectively.) Their Lancastrian airliner was also based on the Lancaster but was not very successful. Other developments were the Avro York and the successful Shackleton which continued in airborne early warning service up to 1992.

Citation for the Distinguished Flying Medal, Gazetted 24th April 1945.

One night in February, 1945, this airman was the wireless operator in an aircraft detailed to attack a target at Politz. During the bombing run the aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire. A piece of shrapnel severed the oil pipe lines to the rear turret and a fierce fire started. Disregarding a warning to be prepared to abandon aircraft, Flight Sergeant Sayer promptly devoted his energies towards quelling the flames. Small arms ammunition was exploding all around. With complete disregard for his own safety, this airman worked heroically. When the last extinguisher was used the fire was still well alight so Flight Sergeant Sayer ripped a hole in the floor, seized the severed ends of the pipe line from, which oil was oozing and feeding the fire, and forced them through the aperture. Thereafter the flames began to subside and Flight Sergeant Sayer extinguished them completely just before he was overcome by the heat and fumes. He soon recovered on receiving attention. This airman displayed great courage, determination and resource and his efforts contributed in a large way to the safe return of the aircraft.
