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.
Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 3:42 pmI 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.

Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 8:35 pmWould be nice to think some of these will end up on display in museum etc after the movies finished. One at Omaka for starters !!

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.
