Aircraft Identification Thread I

[mosquitoman]

I don't know about circumsised Lancs but the P-38s given to the RAF were said to be castrated because they didn't have the superchardgers as they were still on the american secrets list

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yup, thats why the RAF rejected them. With out the superchargers they werent very good...

 

[evangilder]

Even the Lockheed engineers decried the idea. They knew the performance would be horrible.

 

[cheddar cheese]

[mosquitoman]

It's a Lancaster MkII with Bristol Hercules engines, Britain was running a bit low on Merlins at the time

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

and yes that's a Mk.II, it wasn't because we were running low on merlins, it was because we thought we might do in the short furture...........
