Just watched the Myarski Lanc fly over my house here in Calgary about an hour ago - wasn't expecting it - was only about 200 ft. overhead - the ground shook! How cool!!
In WWII a lancaster plane was taken down in the Netherlands, and it crashed in sea. I live exactly above the crashsite because what was sea in ww2, is now land. (Flevoland) Look it up on google
My Great uncle was the first Black person to be a navigator .. he was in the Avro Lancaster and im gonna join the 364 Lancaster Squadron of air cadets soon .. its to bad i never met him .. he died after the war
My great uncle flew one of these planes. He was due to become a flight instructor after his 50th sortie, but he got shot down on the last mission. How unlucky is that....
Not so sturdy as the B-17? Lancasters were built like a brick shithouse. In terms of the damage that they could sustain they were equal to anything. No other bomber had the range plus bomb load of a Lancaster. No other bomber could carry the range of bombs that a Lancaster with it's 33' bomb bay could which, after later modifications to bulge it, had even greater capacity. It's design was brilliant and was how it was developed into the Lincoln then Shackleton as well as the huge bomb carriers
Absolutely bang on skipper! The Lanc was as hard as nails & took take a huge amount of stick. Some ac limped home having sustained tremendous battle damage. Bloody marvellous aeroplane-greatest heavy of WW2. The B-17 was similar to a heavyweight boxer who throws a middle weight punch! No comparision to the Lanc. No disrepect to the brave USAAF bomber crews who flew in WW2 intended though :)
My grandfather was aboard one of those 3000 lancasters lost during the war. Most of his crew members perished, but he made it out at the last second. He was a flight communications (and navagation too i believe)
I like a lot more than B-17, I don know why it was confined to night bombing duties, was it no so sturdy as american bombers, I remember that lancaster bombload was greater than american bomber.Greetings
The B17's flew daylight missions due to the fact that they flew in vics of 3 or 6 aircraft using their multiple air gunners for self protection. This system would have been almost impossible at night.
RAF bombers flew in waves on night bombing attacks at different altitudes, each aircraft having to look after themselves. The greatest danger apart from flack and night fighters was friendly bombs dropped from above as some wartime pictures of returning Lancs minus whole rear turrets showed.
It had a much heavier bombload, but it was made of wood a lit up like a torch. It was confined to night bombing because the British didn't target 1 building or 1 area, they targeted cities, and for a large target like that, it's safer to go at night where there will be less fighters (more day fighters than night fighters) which means a greater chance of going home.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes Aussie, it was. Both the Mosquito and the Lancaster were made of wood, although the Mosquito was harder to detect on radar due to its material and design (contrary to popular belief, not completly stealth). But yes, both aircraft were made of wood.
You are absolutely wrong........ the Lancaster is of all metal construction....I've read 100s of book about Lancs have looked all over them and have sat in the pilots seat of one...and i assure you they are all metal.
To avoid the tail gun the German night fighters would fly up under the Lancs, set up a climb slightly to get an angle to hit between the fuselage and the #2 engine, and fire away. The Lancaster rear gunner could not depress his guns enough to engage the enemy fighter directly below. Lancs used up fuel in the outboard tanks first, thus, the center tanks always had fuel in them. This burning ability is also true for American B-24 Liberators.
All aircraft carry fuel in their wings. Yes night fighters did attack from below using "Schrage Musik" obliquely firing cannon. Any aircraft at night would be vulnerable to such an attack....even ones with a belly gunner...because at night gunners rarely used their guns as it would give the position of the bomber away to other night fighters. Some gunners did a whole tour 30 ops without firing their guns.
Will you at least admit you were wrong about Lanc being wooden
@Aussiephil99 The mosquito wasn't metal. The skin was Birch and Spruce plywood and was reported to be difficult to pick up on the Wurtzburg and Freya radars.
Not true: All metal apart from I think the ailerons which were linen over a metal frame, but that's not unusual for 'metal' planes of that era, on either side. Even the bf109 I believe had that.
Beautiful Aircraft! Absolutly stunning! The one they are rebuilding at the Windsor airport is well under way. Sooo much work to do but its gunna be airworthy, i was there today and the team is working hard at it!!
@Tabby266 Actually the Lancaster MKX did have a belly turret and the bulged bomb bay. The real advantage over US bombers was the huge bomb capacity (14,000lb over the same distance the B-17 could carry 4-5000lb) and the fact that the Lancaster as for the Halifax only required 1 pilot. All US bombers carried 2. The UK bombers used the Flight Engineer to perform all co-pilot duties.
I live near reculver in kent, another one of its famous test sites. when the tide is out you can still see tiny bits of the metal casing being washed up all the time.
I'm tempted to flag the video for sexual content, this is pure pornography.
Of course the ZIONISTS did it! That all-powerful cabal financed both the Allied and Axis powers, created the holocaust hoax, tricked the German people into thinking Hitler was a saviour, staged a Hollyweird war, and were rewarded with the vast and fabulously wealthy land of Israel, where they could live in peace and luxury forever. Zionists did it, Zionists did it all...ahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Like the B24 Liberator, this was an excellent bomber, overshadowed in history by the B17, I think because the Fortress got more media coverage, and possibly due to the clumsy-looking twin rudders, which were reminiscent of older WWI designs. The engine nacelles on the Avro were absolutely beautiful, though. Thanks for the post.
I am a really thankful and greatful person to the post-war behaviour of the US and the UK. The showed humanity to a nation which allowed the Nazi-regime to be established... I have a meaning on this as well...I mean why the Nazi-regime was possible in Germany to that time..war guilt for WW1 (which Germany did not start) and the foolish train wagon in a hidden forest to sign an cease fire agreement and the world economy crisis..all this and more made the Nazis possible in Germany
dont get me wrong..I dont blame any allied or other nation but Germany for the third Reich. But its evident that politics in the west and east knew pretty much what was due to come with idiot Hitler...Germans were useful fools...but that conspiracy-theory of Yours is a little bit over the top...in my eyes...
Anyhow I respect Your opinion and underline my statement, that I am free to discuss such matters in an unlimited internet and forum..for me thats just possible for germans cause of the US
The Manchester was quite unreliable compared to these, but the Lanc was absolutely brilliant in technology, add this to the special tricks for bombing, and in the words of Guy Gibson, the best place a German spotter when a marker bomb landed in the right place was underground.
This is a awesome canadian aircraft ,more powerfull than B-17 and B-24, like the Huricain build by Elsie MacGill ( first female engineer in the worlds, she build the hawker hurricaine for RAF and RCAF ).
hi, my dad was in that flight on the 6th of august 2006 windsor Ontario, we drove from cambridge and came from England just so he could do that flight! Ivan Webb,
any one who was there or flew with him, reply to me, hed love for any one to get in touch!!
saw 213 in 1990 at an airshow in upstate NY using grass runway alongside cornfields. Awesome sight with those merlins roaring and water swirls coming off props taking off. My favorite bomber of WWII and sad to know more than half were lost in action.
My late Uncle George was a pilot and unfortunately shot down in one of those over Berlin late '45,he was later interred (1955) and burried in a French War Grave near Paris. I plan to visit his grave this April with his brother. Those boy's were very special, so was that Bomber! RIP
I am sorry about Your Uncle...late 1945...lots of senseless bombing runs took place during these days...too bad brave people died during these late days...As a german I really feel honoured by the british and the americans...they fought to free the germans...I am sorry about the causalties...but the politics of America and the british werethe best politics for Germany since many decades....finally the decisions where made without hate and propaganda
Good question - Choloy War Cemetery is for specifically for Pilots who were shot down and then interred after the war. No idea why it should be in France and not Germany or England. Sorry for your loss too! it was a dreadful situation for all involved - especially the innocents from Germany later in the war. Your fathers Uncle must have been a very brave man. Respect!
American bombers also flew during the day and actually made an attempt at hitting specific targets not simply aiming for the fires started by the lead Lancaster's incendiary explosives.
Aiming at buildings with the norton bomb site. Buildings having been photographed by aerial photographs. When Dresden was fire bombed Lancasters aimed at the fires caused by the initial aircraft's incendiarie explosive.
this bomber is fitted with the packard merlin engines...where many fitted with the rolls-royce??? and did the opposite rotation counter clockwise as opposed to clockwise of the cranckshaft direction hinder or hamper take-offs, and which where easier to take-off and land with
Interesting film, but I'm completely at a loss as to why there's a picture of Douglas Bader in there - he was a fighter pilot. Like the last post I'm also a bit puzzled as to how the B17 was better, given it carried a much smaller payload.
The B17 was another fine aircraft, but designed to fly higher and with a lot more of the payload tied up with armour and defensive armament.
The Lancaster generally flew lower, and carried more bomb load.... 22,000 lb is a collosal load. The B17 cound not hope to carry it, nor was it designed to.... it was built really for precision targets, in daylight, with less load.
The Lanc was an upgrade of the Manchester, which didn't live up to expectations with it's 2 vulture engines. I hate the 'mines better than yours' mentality - both great aircraft. Didn't the B17 originally come from an airline heritage?

4 Despite flying at night RAF bomber command still had 55,000 killed out of 120,00 who served ie it was the 2nd most dangerous place to be in the war
