I will never forget the first time I went inside a B-17 at an airshow back in the early 90s. I was shocked........ absolutely shocked......by the very small and cramped crew quarters inside that airplane. I understand that a Lanc is even moreso. Ive never seen a Lancaster bomber IRL, but they look really narrow. If they were anywhere near the size of that B17 interior, it makes me wonder that much more how those brave boys did it, day and night, every day. God bless those lads.

I did this flight on the Canadian VR-A that flies out of Hamilton Ontario…they wouldn’t let anyone in the bomb aimers seat, but it was most exhilarating experience…loud, loud and loud…can’t imagine what those crew went through…

Might have been a good idea to point out the bomb aimers position from the outside before the take off for those unfamiliar with a Lancaster crew positions? I thought the same as a few other commenters, The number of young lads, for that's what they were mostly, for whom this was their last view of home and for which they may have given their lives shortly afterwards! Very thought provoking.

Fifty years ago I used to fly in the BBMF lancaster in its first season on the flight, (1974), it still stops me dead in my tracks when I hear and see it in the air . Another thing that brought back memories of that first season, cleaning the flies off the perspex, nose and canopy, it took hours .

What an AWESOME sense of power, hugely impressive- what a machine the Lancaster was! I have a vinyl record called, 'The Sound Of The Aeroplane At War,' it has WW2 recordings of start up, taxing and take off, battle of Britain dogfight recordings- you can hear the .303 Browning MG's and the heavier 'thud' of the 20mm German Me 109 cannon. There is a recording of a heavily laden Lancaster taking off on a bombing raid on a summer evening. Full power is deployed and you can hear the Merlin's straining and the vibration throbbing through the airframe as the aircraft claws itself off the runway. It never ceases to impress- the sheer power of the Merlin engines at full chat!

Tbh that was some good racing but i don't want to be harsh or anything but it does seem you get a bit emotional when you lose position. Yes, i know there was some rough racing between the green and the blue guy. BUT that divebomb @ 8:17 was 100% your fault. The rental carts don't have mirrors and you weren't even level with him into the apex.
@DADnLAD.Racing8 ай бұрын
Hi Harry, thanks for your comment. Not harsh at all. Always nice to get feedback. The reason i made the move up the top was because i have always been told if you are halfway alongside the apex it's a fair fight. I felt i was going to be there so i went for it. The hand raises were more of an annoyance at myself. I shouldn't have made the move on the white suit driver earlier, it cost me a few positions.

Just watched this on another post. Spooked me out. I researched an Uncle who died in 1944 aboard a Halifax lll, (one of about 1,650 Halis that also served in WWIl but is never acknowledged) and this gives me the experience he would have had on a daily basis. But amplify the sound by 20 on the airfield, as there could have been that many taxiing to take off. So glad we still have an airworthy Lanc to remind us of our bomber boys. My Uncle signed up on his 18th birthday in 1942 so was a ' boy'. Completed 2 yrs training at 11 locations, and achieved Wireless Operator/Air Gunner status aged 20. 17 ops in at 102 Squadron (Pocklington) he was shot down returning from Stuttgart. I know he would have been a brill uncle for me, but it was not to be. Thanks again for giving the following generation a glimpse into their world at the time. Remembering Sgt Robert Leyland KIA 25/7/44. X

I grew up near the Woodford factory to the sound of Vulcan engine testing and the sight of them flying around. Kind of took it for granted almost. Notwithstanding that both that and the Lancaster were military aircraft designed for a single unpleasant purpose, I would love to have seen the number of Lancs that must have been in those same skies back in the day. Still eminently watchable when they come over on airshows etc.
