Heh - there was a doco on TV (Nat Geo, Discovery??? One of them) a while back called Bomber Boys, where they did exactly that...they had an ergonomically correct Lancaster set up as a sim...

WWII flight experience anyone???

i remember watching that, they trained up a current RAF crew to fly a bombing mission in the lanc, gave the new raf boys a real tast of what they guys went through during the war.

I actually made the propellors for these out of Urethane.

I ended up having to increase the glass fibre quite considerably to increase strength as they wanted the props to run at a max of around 2000 RPM.

If they want that sort of RPM they must be thinking of taxiing these babies. Awesome. I want one.

Made enough Props for 14 Lancasters.

We all want one

Would be nice to think some of these will end up on display in museum etc after the movies finished. One at Omaka for starters !!

Hmmmm, you're being very quiet Ace .... lol

by **Ace** » Thu May 07, 2009 10:53 pm

I can't give away all the secrets...

It sure looked damn though cool I must admit. Quite an honor to have a Lancaster taxi around Hood, even if it was towed by a tractor.

Lancasters at Masterton!
