THE LANCASTER STORY with Sarah-Louise Miller - Sunday 26th October
Step back into wartime Britain and discover the untold tales of the RAF’s most legendary bomber at this exclusive live event with renowned military historian Dr. Sarah-Louise Miller at the Steventon Gallery!
In The Lancaster Story, Sarah masterfully charts the history of the iconic Avro Lancaster - the workhorse of Bomber Command - but on this special occasion she’ll go further still, sharing a wealth of untold stories and new accounts that didn’t quite make it into the book.
Compiling archival documents, letters and first-hand accounts, Sarah delivers a dramatic and vividly rendered account of the most successful RAF bomber of the Second World War and the lives of the men and women who flew, designed, constructed and maintained it. Combining individual stories into a gripping, panoramic narrative, it paints a complete portrait of the battle over Europe and the Lancaster’s unique and decisive role in it.
