As with the fighters some WW2 era bombers graced the hallowed turf of Blackbushe. For completeness I have included their civil conversions in this section excluding the based aircraft.
The Lancaster remained in RAF service until 1956 when five aircraft from St Mawgan visited, only to be scrapped months later. Of course the famous NX739 will be delt with under residents. It is very likely that further foriegn Lanc's were delivered through Blackbushe?

The Avro Lincoln was the RAF's last propellor driven bomber. Introduced in late 1945 the aircraft weer quickly outclassed by the emerging jet fighters, although there was a large export order to Argentina.

It may seem amazing but there were sill B-17's around in the 50's. US Navy examples were known to visit Northolt but no records of them at Blackbushe. The RAE kept an example until 1952 when it was returned to the USAF and scraped.
