A new movie by the makers of feature length documentary "Spitfire" has received acclaim from critics for its portrayol of the wartime history of the Lancaster bomber.
"From the team behind SPITFIRE comes LANCASTER, the story of the iconic WW2 bomber told through the words of the last surviving crew members, re-mastered archive material and extraordinary aerial footage of the RAF's last airworthy Lancaster. Responsible for some of the most famous and infamous missions in WW2 history, from the Dambuster raids to the controversial bombing of Dresden, the Lancaster would help turn the tide of war. But there was a deadly price to be paid. 55,000 young men - half of all Bomber Command's aircrew - died over Nazi occupied Europe. Their average age was just 22. LANCASTER is an epic and poignant story of courage, fear, friendship and the moral complexities of war."
The film will be screened at select cinemas and for those in Melbourne a viewing is being organised at The Palace, Como, on 10th November. Interested members can email Noel Tresider at ntreside@bigpond.net.au for details.
