    Pretty cool. Got to see the RAF honour flight fly up the Mall in London which was pretty impressive.

    These are the same powerplants that drive the Spitfire and the P-51 Mustang. It is an awesome thing to hear them up close and personal! Thanks for posting.

    When was this video shot? My wife and I got a chance to tour this Lancaster at the museum in I think it was 1999. The plane had just come off of a re-build and fired up its engines for the first time in years. It was an awesome site to see. Afterwards the kind crew allowed us onboard to check it out. Great museum they have there.

    Please do some research first on the B-17,the B-17 was a very stable bombing platform. Otherwise you’re right, the Lancaster is a legendary aircraft.

    How’s about the Contra-rotating pusher-propeller one, that had twice the bombload of a Mosquito, and twice the speed?

    Yeah… but it still kicks the shit out of the lancaster.

    Hmm… would the XB-36 count? The flying wing of way back when? b

    Make up your mind…I thought you said the B-17 gets your vote! lol. Only kidding. Size is not everything as they say.

    Well…
    the Ju-390 wins my vote.

    The prototype german “Continental” bomber, which made several flights, is absolutely awesome.
    Six engines, huge payload, and a high flyer.

    We are talking WWII 4 piston engined aircraft here, not JETS! If you are talking jets then the Vulcan bomber beats the lot. But lets keep to the topic of the Lancaster and not lose the thread. The sound of the lancaster alone is fantastic.

    Sure there is.

    The Ardo… somthing somthing…

    It’s the first tactical bomber and jet bomber.
    And, quite frankly, it’s more awe inspiring than the lancaster.

    Well the B-17 could not bomb accurately from high altitudes, was sluggish, had blind spots making it defenseless, and required 290 plus modifications on one variant alone. There is nothing more awe-inspiring than a ‘Lancaster’ bomber.

    My mum was in the WAAF and stationed near Middleton St George (6 Group I believe). I take her up to the Hamilton Warplane Heritage Museum to see the Lanc every so often. Impressive as it is she says you cannot imagine the din of dozens of Lancs taking off under full bomb load. She said the ground shook for miles…the Arnhem raid in particular. She doesn’t talk about the War too much but I do recall her mentioning a tail gunner whose name was “Two Burst Hurst”.
