dogsbody Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Never mind! I didn't see the comment under the photo about them being 2000 pounders. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Lime Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Definitely a Lancaster? That fuselage looks very narrow for a Lanc....... Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) It's a Lancaster. Same set as this pic. For the width check out the H2S radome aft, which can be seen on the first pic. It is attributed by the Australian government as being 467 Squadron RAAF at Waddington in 1944, and that ties in with Lancasters too Edited January 6, 2020 by Work In Progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume for a HC bomb they would be instantaneous action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
