AJ-O was supplied to 617 Sqdn on 23rd April 1943, eventually went missing, believed shot down over France on 10th December 1943 with a total of 139 flying hours. Caption 2: This model of Lancaster O for Orange stands in the church over which she flew as a reminder of the terrible things men are forced to do in war. Please pray for the souls of the men who flew and died in her, the men who shot them down and those killed by her bombs. Pray also for the three million Jews who were murdered by the Nazi government and for all poor sinners. "Who are you to pass judgement on another's servant? Whether he stands or falls is his master's business" Romans XIV 4
