The Lancaster is the beauty and the beast. Now if they could get that F16 out the picture.

If you’re implying that the Lanc is the beast, then I’ll take the beast. Neat picture.

The Lanc is totally the beast! It’s the original BUFF.

While B17s and 29s have some elegance to them, Lancasters look EXACTLY like they were thrown together in a mad hurry by a nation who were getting their butts kicked by a more prepared enemy. “ We need something to kill Jerries faster with bigger bombs. Now. Here’s some cardboard, some duct tape, and some leftover Manchester bits; now get on with it. And HURRY! ”

And yes, I’ll take it over practically anything else, any day of the week.

But for all their size, it’s suprisingly cramped in the cockpit. Check out this video, particularly :34 when they show the four-man crew.
