New enough, long enough, no obvious copyvio. I like first hook, which is interesting and verifiable (across a few sentences). QPQ checks out fine. This is good to go. I was particularly interested in this as my grandfather flew tail-gunner in Lancasters and I was lucky enough to take him to a local airshow a few years back where both surviving flying Lancasters flew together.
