The Lancaster also had a kit for fitting dual controls, which the old Chiefs who I worked under on PA474 (and who were wartime ground crew) said was used for pilot conversion and/or training flights. At that time (1966/67) PA474 was still in original wartime single pilot configuration, but has since had the dual control kit installed and BBMF seems to operate her with two pilots.
