Description

Canberra, ACT, 1955. RAAF ground crew disassemble Avro Lancaster BI W4783 (G for George) in a hangar at RAAF Base Fairbairn so that the bomber aircraft can be moved to the Australian War Memorial where it will be installed and reassembled in the Aeroplane Hall. Some of the RAAF servicemen working on the aircraft are on attachment to Fairbairn from the Aircraft Research and Development Unit (ARDU) RAAF. (Donor R. Clackson)
