Corporal (later Sergeant) William Dawson RAAF rides on a 4000 lb (1814 kg) 'cookie' bomb about to be loaded into ‘A for Aussie' of No. 460 Squadron RAAF at RAF Binbrook, Lincolnshire, England, on 9 September 1943. On the trolley behind Dawson are cases of incendiary bombs. According to the squadron 'Operations Record Book', nineteen Lancasters were readied for operations that night but 'much to the disappointment of everyone they were cancelled'. [AWM UK0487]
