simply fantastic, brings a tear to your eye dosn't it these things were built when we were still a great country before corrupt and incompetent politicians allowed parts of this country to look like down town islamabad

Quite sure that this aircraft could fly, wouldn't it be a dream to have "Just Jane" "PA474" and the Canadian Lanc to fly in formation, what a sound that would be!!!!

I am sorry to disgust and upset. But the indiscrimate bombing of WW2 German civilians was done to destroy morale and beat them into submission. If you support that then you support the present Syrian government shelling of Homs - for exectly the same reasons. Beware of double standards despite the roar of Merlin engines and Lancaster bombers - great though they are, just remember why they were built and what they did.

@Theandyhumphreys Really? I am not too sure as to why you think in that manner.

[1100HondaCB]

@1MrTurd Fantastic indeed. I'm glad you feel the same as I do. As you say, great shame this once magnificent country has been ruined by useless politicians. I am British and proud and love my country, but dislike what it has become in very few years.

@Theandyhumphreys You disgust me. No more needs to be said.

The men flying these in WW2 must have had balls the size of water melons.

@The1dasha read theandyhumphreys comment and see what you think

[homer61ad]

@Theandyhumphreys i disagree with your comment. the german people all supported hitler and his manic idealism. they had to be stopped and bombing was a legitimate part of war since the germans bombed coventry first. do not dishonour the thousands of brave men of bomber command (who's casualty rate was 50% some of the highest of the war) by implying they committed atrocities.

[Theandyhumphreys]

Great stuff of course, but let's remember that these aircraft and those who flew them were under orders - starting with Churchill - to commit some of the worst war crimes of WW2. The German people did not deserve what they got. By the way, my dad was a commando and my mum a submarine hunter in the Battle of the Atlantic and I'm proud of both of them.... but...
