The front fuselage of Sugar, which is on display at the Museum, is an accurate replica of a Lancaster bomber. It was built by Martin Willoughby and all of the equipment contained within is genuine Lancaster instrumentation, which has been painstakingly collected over many years. Martin's father, Ted Willoughby, looked after Sugar during the war as a ground engineer and painted the Hermann Göring quote 'No enemy plane will fly over Reich territory' as the aircraft approached its 100th mission.
