English: The Ian Bazalgette Memorial Lancaster. Avro Lancaster B X FM159 was built in Canada and arrived in Europe after the fighting ended and never saw combat. After returning to Canada and being placed in storage, it served from 1953 to 1955 with the No. 103 Search and Rescue Unit in Greenwood, Nova Scotia before being transferred to Comox, British Columbia to serve as a maritime and ice patrol aircraft. It was withdrawn from RCAF service in 1958 and purchased in 1960 by a trio of men from Nanton, Alberta with a view to building a war museum in their town. The aircraft is currently (2013) on display at the Nanton, Alberta, Bomber Command Museum of Canada. It bears the squadron marking F2-T of Ian Bazalgette's aircraft of No. 635 Squadron RAF at the time of his VC action and death.
