Just a wild stab, that's an ex-Aéronavale Mk VII n'est-ce pas ?

In a word, Non. This is the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's PA474,
'Phantom of the Ruhr'. Never been Froggified. You're probably thinking
of NX611 'Just Jane' at East Kirkby.

Never been Froggified.

So, pure roasted beef, isn't it?

OK, thanks guys. Was too lazy to check it out myself.


What threw me off was the air scoop on the starboard fuselage, which is a
prominent feature on the French maritime recon Lancasters.

There are similar scoops on the Mark X as well:

service of the Aéronavale. I wonder if the scoop wasn't a post-war mod
associated with cooling for radar sets.

Thanks Andrew, that's what it was used for on the Aéronavale examples.
