Okay here's a better question for you Lanc. Which do you like better on the Lancaster, radial or inline engines? And don't say both. Thats cheating.

 

[Concorde247]

OUCH!!!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

inlines, that's easy.........

 

[Matt308]

Good man. Much more sexy with the inlines.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes but CC wouldn't agree..........

 

[Concorde247]

Inlines Definately!!

compare the two say otherwise!

The radials didnt look that bad. I quite like em meself...then again, I prefer the radial engined Halifax to the inline flavour.

 

[Concorde247]

the inlines add to the sleek look of the lancaster as compared to the radials though. 8)

 

[BombTaxi]

Radials make the Lanc and Halibag look like a big nasty bugger though...spot on!

 

[Matt308]

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Excellent pics.
I have to admit, I agree with BT. The radials didn't look that bad at all, and would have undoubtedly been more durable.
But then it just wouldn't really be a Lancaster, would it?

Guys guys guys, you wanna see a hard question for lanc on the Lancaster? Try this.

With an ambient air temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a humidity of 60%, at what speed did the starboard wheel retract (in furlongs per minute) upon take off with a 12mph crosswind from the left at about 80 degrees?

 

[Wildcat]

Easy!!!

The Hally looks big and bulky so radials suit it, the inlines on the Lanc make it look smooth and sleek.
Having said that i prefer the looks of the Hally over the Lanc

 

[Concorde247]

When i look at the radial pics of the lanc, I cant help but think of the Wellington for some reason....

The Radial engined Wellington looked better than the inline version of the wimpey, it somehow seems to suit it more...

CC. You cannot solve the problem until you know the diameter of the tyres in number of hands.

Does anyone have a pic of the Manchester?

yes you can, just watch me..............

With an ambient air temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a humidity of 60%, at what speed did the starboard wheel retract (in furlongs per minute) upon take off with a 12mph crosswind from the left at about 80 degrees?

right well the effects of the temperature, humidity and such a slight cross wind will be negligable, so effectively you're asking at what speed did the starboard undercarrage retract??

your request is my command! Heres a couple along with some data taken from Handbook of great aircraft of WWII by A.price M.Spick

I couldn't agree more
