Mau Mau is a large drawing of the RAF's 1940's carpet bomber, the Lincoln.

Built to bomb mainland Japan, it was rendered obsolete in the Cold War by the jet age and nuclear weapons, almost before the new paint had dried.

Its bombs and guns were however used in the service of the empire; in the Malayain and Kenyan conflicts....with hindsight, and a look towards Afganistan, should it have been used?
