ABOUT
| PAUL MICHAEL HUGHES Photographer Vs The Avro Lancaster Bomber 'The Avro Lancaster was a four-engined World War II bomber aircraft made by Avro for the Royal Air Force. First used in 1942, it was the main heavy bomber of the RAF and the most heavily used.' - Paul Michael Hughes has only one engine and has been heavily used by Marks and Spencer, Guinness World Records, Peavey Electronics, Roland, Trace Elliot, Blackstar and NHS Trust to name a few. 'The Lancaster made its first test flight on January 9, 1941.' - Paul Michael Hughes aquired his photography wings in 2001. 'The Lancasters flew 156,000 operations and dropped 608,612 tons of bombs.' - Paul Michael Hughes is still yet to reach 156,000 operations and the only bombs he believes in dropping are the kind that produce creative explosions. '3,249 Lancasters were lost in action.' - I'm pleased to say that Paul Michael Hughes has not yet been lost in action. 'Only 35 Lancasters completed more than 100 successful operations. The greatest survivor completed 139 operations and survived the war to be scrapped in 1947.' - Paul Michael Hughes has completed many sucessful operations and will hopefully not be scrapped after many years of hard work. 'An important feature of the Lancaster was its extensive bomb-bay, at 33 feet (10.05 metres) long.' - An important feature of Paul Michael Hughes is his extensive load of photography equipment and his ability to carry out photographic missions with a creative mind and inspiration. Production, deadlines, understanding clients, responsibility and problem solving are his duties. 'The most famous use of the Lancaster was probably the 1943 mission, codenamed Operation Downwood, to destroy the dams of the Ruhr Valley using special drum shaped bouncing bombs. The story of the mission was later made into a film, The Dam Busters.' - The most famous use of Paul Michael Hughes cannot compete with the historic mission The Avro Lancaster underwent. Paul Michael Hughes' history is still being written, please make contact if you would like to be a part. |
