My uncle was a ball turret gunner on Liberators, but I am one Yank who would be in heaven to get to fly on a Lanc.

WOW!!!! Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up eh?

My late Father worked on the Merlins after the war for his national service in the RAF,i Took him to Biggin Hill for the airshow,it bought tears to his eyes when the BOB memorial flight went over.

Thanks for posting this.

Hi,

Rear tail turret Gunner Frank,

WW2

He made it,back and dated my Gran with a wicked grin!

I was born in Lancaster and have allways liked The Lancaster bomber.

Amazing attention to detail.How do you get the oil pressure all the same?Regards Peter.

@LandroverB1 A Lancaster crashed in my Grandmothers backgarden during WW2, all crew members died.

Awesome again. I went to an airshow last year where there was a Battle of Britain memorial flypast of a Lancaster, Hurricane and Spitfire. I used the sound of the engines to estimate the speed (using the acoustic Doppler effect) and got a value of 172kts. I had no idea how reasonable this was until seeing the airspeed indicator at 06:12 in your video showing around 170kts!! Cool! Thanks for showing that! If you are interested: /watch?v=URete4auJBo (and for the theory /watch?v=rtsfSuPilCU )

hey i saw someone in the turret further back, was there someone riding in the tail turret seat? that would be so awesome. Love the Lancaster, my fave bomber of WW2. Merlin power!

[shannybos]

its wierd because when ythou look at this bomber you never get board at looking at the lines or those RRmerlins and that little cockpit that says you are now part of a machine and your comfort is not important i could stare at this work of art for days!! (is it just me?)

[1100HondaCB]

@shannybos Not at all. I'm the same. I could continually admire the craftsmanship of these fantastic machines and listen to those harmonious Merlins all day. Experiences like these give you reason to live.

really cool video !! the only way to beat the sound of a merlin is to have 4 of them running at the same time.

Long may this aircraft and UK's PA474 grace the skies.
