Nice! I always loved the look of the Connie. There used to be 2 of those down at the airport near me, but one got sold. The other is still there. I once witnessed that Connie do a low altitude, high speed pass. There was nothing that I have seen that caused that big of a stir down at Camarillo. That Connie was at about 50 feet doing at least 250 MPH! What a site to behold! When he got to the end of the field, he yanked back on that stick into a rivet popping climb out. I couldn't believe it, it was incredible!
i really wanna see a vulcan go from a take off straight into a vertical zoom climb, stuff you normally associate with a lightning or F/A-18.............
The Lancaster II was powered by four Bristol Hercules VI, 14 cyl radial, air-cooled engines of 1,735 hp each.
It had a maximum speed of 264 mph (426 km/h), a ceiling of 18,552 ft (5,640 m),
and a range of 2,547 miles (4,103 km). Of course this all depended on the distance to the target,
bomb load, etc. It carried the same armament as the Lancaster I. Due to it's abbreviated production span,
the Mark II carried up to 14,017 lb (6,350 kg) of bombs in a wide mixture, it never carried the 22,000 lb. Grand Slam.
