Avro Lancaster Mk.I - British users part ten

The Avro Lancaster was the main British Bomber of the World War II. As it stood over any other contemporary British bombers, it quickly replaced other four-engined bombers serving in the RAF's bombing squadrons like the Short Stirling or the Handley Page Halifax and also making some two-engined medium bombers equipped squadrons (like the Vickers Wellington or the Armstrong-Whitworth Whitely) to transition to four-engined ones.
The squadrons covered in this post are:

• No.150 Squadron: This squadron, that was previously serving in the Mediterranean Theatre, was reformed at RAF Fiskerton, in Lincolnshire in October 1944 to be equipped with the Avro Lancaster, replacing the Vickers Wellington. After having been re-equipped, they were soon rebased to RAF Hemswell, in Lincolnshire, where they flew a total of 827 sorties, dropping a total of 3.827 tons of bombs losing eight aircraft. At the very end of the war, they took part in Operation Manna, dropping food over starving Dutch civilians. When the war in Europe was over, they repatriated POWs from mainland Europe back to the United Kingdom. They were disbanded soon after the end of the war, on 7th November 1945.
• No.12 Squadron: After being rebased to RAF Wickenby, in Lincolnshire, they were reequipped with the Lancaster replacing the Vickers Wellington medium bomber. They remained performing night raids against Germany until the end of the war in Europe. The Lancasters remained in service until August 1946 when they replaced by the Avro Lincoln.
