Another contribution to the little flurry of Lancaster pics. These Richard Kamm photos are of TW669, location unknown, date sometime 1948-51.

Cool paint job.

Is that a cold war patrol scheme?

This paint scheme was applied to late-manufactured Lancasters which were earmarked to help incinerate Japan as part of the RAF's "Tiger Force" commitment. With updated roundels and the addition of underwing codes, it continued in use for a few years after the war.
