AVRO Lancaster Bomber, at the Canadian Warplane Heritage museum, in
Hamilton Ontario. Only two of these aircraft are still operational.

Is that one of the famous Dambuster bouncing bombs in the left
background ?

More likely the 4,000lb "cookie" bomb as shown he

With respect, sir, I think not.
The device sitting patiently on the ordinance dolley directly under the
Lanc's bay is undoubtedly a cookie.
But look to the left of the photo frame and examine the object a few feet
beyond the Lanc's starboard wingtip.
It's height (on its side, forsooth!) equals that of the nearby lad wearing
the #10 sporting jersey.
What cookie ever had a diameter of five feet or so?

It was also carried by the Mosquito.
