At more than 21 metres long and with a wingspan exceeding 31 metres, the Lancaster has an imposing presence. It can carry a crew of seven, with three gunner positions, and has four engines.
“It’s very loud,” Slobodian said.
I’ve seen this aircraft in person. It’s an incredibly cool artifact, and the story behind it is insane.
I went to see the one at the Nanton Lancaster Museum about 20 years ago. It is a seriously impressive aircraft.
