Well the picture of the Lanc during the mission is total crap because it's the City of Lincoln from the BBMF at RAF Conningsby complete with the mid upper turret that was removed from the Dams aircraft...

Typical Daily Mail
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

They really are terrible at using pictures. I'll never forget when they used a picture of current Kiss guitarist Tommy Thayer and identified it as classic lead man Ace Frehley. Expecting them to get an aircraft right is expecting the second coming it seems 8-) wtf wallhead
