Friday Night Airplane Blogging


The Avro Lancaster began life as the mediocre two engined Manchester. Underpowered and unreliable, the two Rolls Royce Vulture engines were replaced with four magical Merlin engines and a star was born. Capable of loads up to 22,000 lbs and flying up to 1600 miles, the Lancaster was the backbone of RAF Bomber Command. It was not a pretty plane, but it was loved by its crews and served with distinction in many missions in WWII. Posted by Hello
