I went to RAF East Kirkby in Lincs a few years ago and had the privilege of seeing the Lanc taxi along the airstrip. The noise it made was phenomenal.

It was a cracking day out; the control tower was strangely eerie with the mannequins in uniform and the recorded radio chatter. It felt haunted.

Link is here http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/ for anyone wanting to visit or information about the missions for example 'the average age of air crew, each man a volunteer, was 22 and not even 1 in 4 completed their first tour of 30 operations.'
