The Lancaster turned Bomber Command's dream into reality | Daily Mail Online

Surprisingly not bad even from the DailyMail!

 

Yeah, they had ones on the Hurricane and Spitfire around the same time.

 

Very nice write up on the Lancaster , bit surprising.....

I thought id post a couple of pics of the Lancaster's almost forgotten big sister the Avro Lincoln...




Check out those oil bands on the wings!

 

Lovely oil streaks. Somewhat reminiscent of the "D-Day Stripes"... quite possibly the most attractive markings ever added to WW2 aircraft.

Oh God -- "Von Poop" is rubbing off on me and not in a good way

 

I appreciated the article as my granddad was a Bomb Aimer in a Lancaster! Talk about a birds eye view...

 

Anyone got a picture of the Avro Manchester, a predecessor to the Lancaster?

 

....yes, the Lancaster produced massive destruction ....most people do not realize or even know the enormity of the destruction of even one raid
..people nowadays are awed by 1 whole building on fire/destroyed
here's the Manchester

 

Thanks. I realise the Lancaster was far superior but had never seen an image of the Manchester.
