In February 1942, the ground-breaking Lancaster Bomber entered into RAF service, making military history as it confirmed its battle-ready status. This spectacular aircraft proved itself to be one of the most successful WWII night bombers. Intricately crafted by hand for luxurious detail, this extraordinary commemorative desk clock showcases an authentic model of the noted Lancaster pilot Guy Gibson’s aircraft, which was flown when he was commander of the 617 Squadron. The Lancaster replica is intricately detailed and meticulously finished with a gleaming bronze effect. Proudly depicted in flight, the bomber is displayed on a polished wooden base that is enhanced with a rich grain in between a precision Quartz movement clock (working) and indoor thermometer – both inspired by authentic instruments from the Lancaster’s cockpit! The clock is inscribed with the 617 Squadron motto of; 'Après Moi, Le Déluge' ('After Me, The Flood') as a striking reminder of the bomber’s involvement in the 'Dam Busters' raids. Adorning this exceptional treasure is the laurel wreath of victory, in addition to a brilliant brass-like plaque expertly honoring the Lancaster’s first flight! Don’t miss out on this incredible treasure! A great gift for any Lancaster/ WW II/ War-birds /beautiful objects connoisseur or addition to an existing collection. Don't let this one pass you by!
