The pictures are very interesting and for the historical value the photos are priceless.
The spelling leaves a lot to be desired and the short piece titled Capture Lancaster is all about a Stirling.

Builder of aircraft, any scale from 1:1 to 1:144!
According to my book by German test pilot Hans-Werner Lerche, they did indeed fly a captured Lanc. The book is well worth a read!
