I don't think you can google-whack this one - its a really technical question. Here is a link where you can buy the 'Haynes' manual of the Avro Lancaster so to speak.

http://www.greenhillbooks.com/booksheets/lancaster.html

The thing is, its £25. On the other hand you could just send an e-mail to the 'Battle of Britain Memorial Flight' They keep our only flying Lanc in the air, so its a safe bet they're the guys who'll know.

Well Med I just couldn't help myself, even though I have a fair few details on the Lancs Carb now, I just had to go and order the Lancs Mk1 manual ( naughty girl) you pointed me to above 8) .
I wanted to buy myself a Christmas pressie today, so I ordered that and I got a small tatoo on my bum , of an Owl. Now it is official, I am a 'Wise Arse' .

Is it now? Anyway quickly crashing on, I'm surprisingly alright considering. I think it was due to eating a bowl of cornflakes, rather than having a glass of Slivovitz when I got back.

Glad for you Med.... Cornflakes hey!!!

Hey CC, do you know that they gave spiders weed, another drug and caffiene. after each they watched them build their web.
The worst one was following caffiene.... it was just stringy straight lines.
What does that tell you ( can't wait for the answers to this one ).

That you've read books on biochemistry for fun!

Oh, about Dave Gorman - I'm not a fanatic, but I did find the 'I am Dave Gorman' show funny. I've picked up 'Google-whack' in Borders, but not properly read it yet.

Yep CC, I watch QI. I dont watch alot off TV but I love comedy and I like Documentary type stuff. Did you watch the docu series on Ch4 tonight ' Bomber crew? it was the last one tonight.
Turned over and then watched 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' do you watch that, I like mad stuff.
I have had a good day today ( off work so good anyway, but....) I spent the whole day in the 'Imperial War Museum' ( the Manchester one) with mi old mate 'Tom' ( my camera), I loves mi photography, so a good ol day was ad!
Any other museums, or places that you guys have visited, that's worth a visit ( especially if they house a Lancs of course)?

Hey CC, Med, anyone. Is there anywhere on this site where folk can let each other know when there is an interesting programme coming on about either planes or war etc? so they don't miss it .
Or can I start a thread on Misc?
Cripps.
( my Lancs book hasn't arrived yet )

Why not just start a thread, Cripps? Sounds to me like it could fit in to the 'Aviation Requests' forum, unless the mods say otherwise. 8)

Well, it's currently a balmy -5 degrees Celcius and sunny.
The temperature has been unseasonably warm, so far. Tomorrow it's supposed to get all the way up to 5 degrees.
