A BOMBER given an "unlucky" name returned to the spotlight for a unique photoshoot.
The Handley Page Halifax bomber, Friday the 13th, survived 128 operations during the Second World War and was the complete opposite to what its name suggested for all those that flew aboard her.
It starred in a Second World War-based night shoot and 100 fans were given the chance to attend.
The Halifax was pictured at the Yorkshire Air Museum, in Elvington, alongside the 1943 De Havilland Mosquito Nightfighter, 1944 Douglas Dakota and a post war De Havilland Sea Devon VIP transport aircraft were also brought into the frame for the event.
Ian Reed, museum director, said: "We were overwhelmed by the praises of so many photographers from all over Britain, who had travelled to Elvington to witness this extraordinary spectacle."
He thanked all those involved, including museum staff and volunteers and for their support of such unique moment.
