June ballot prize – Haynes Manual for the Avro Lancaster
The June ballot prize allowed two lucky club members to each win a Haynes Manual for the legendary Avro Lancaster. This brilliant fact-packed Haynes Manual gives the legendary Avro Lancaster the world-renowned Haynes Manual treatment, with the full co-operation and authorisation of the Royal Air Force, providing a wonderful insight into the engineering and construction of the famous aircraft. The highly detailed book is based primarily on the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’s Lancaster based at RAF Coningsby. The book would usually cost £22.99 to buy.

This fantastic three aircraft Showcase set comprises diecast models of Avro Lancaster PA474, Supermarine Spitfire Mk IIa P7350 and Hawker Hurricane Mk IIc LF363. This set is now generally sold out, so this was a special chance to win one.
