Canadian War Plane Heritage Lancaster and BBMF Lancaster

Good Evening All:

The you tube link has stunning footage of the Canadian War Plane Heritage Lancaster along with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster. Hurricane and Spitfire flying over the English coast. These are the last 2 Lancaster’s in the world of over 7,000 built.

Ten Rolls Royce Merlin engines a sound all to themselves!

What is not that well known is the Lancaster carried the heaviest bomb load of any WW2 bomber the 22,000 pound Grand Slam bomb or the 12,000 pound Tall Boy which were successfully used against the Kriegsmarine U-Boat pens which had very thick reinforced concrete structures!

Go full screen and speakers up!

Hopefully this will be enjoyable then the float plane under the bridge etc etc
