  • Description

    The legendary Avro Lancaster bomber.

    We are proud to have developed this package in association with the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Being the operators of one of only two airworthy Lancasters in the world, they have been uniquely able to assist us with such things as pilot feedback, technical details and photographs.

    "As far as we are concerned this is about as accurate a version of a Lancaster as you will ever find! The only better version out there is the real thing sitting in our hangar right now, and now, thanks to Plane Design you can "virtually" fly that one too!" - CWH's Simulation Coordinator, Martin Mclean

    Features:

    • Fully clickable VC with authentic variations for different Lancaster Marks
    • Authentic Rolls Royce Merlin and Bristol Hercules sound sets
    • Aunthentic flight modelling, allowing "to the book" flying
    • Full lighting set Comprehensive manual explaining all procedures, and giving a history of the Lancaster

    This comprehensive pack includes eight variations of the Lancaster, covering both current airworthy examples and other famous examples of the breed.

    The variations included are:

    • B.I in late war specification, with H2S and Hamilton Standard props, marked as the famous R5868 "S-Sugar", the first Lancaster to complete 100 ops, now preserved at the RAF Museum, Hendon.
    • B.I in post war specification, with Lincoln type rudders and Hamilton Standard props, marked as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's PA474.
    • B.I (Special) as one of 617 Squadron's Grand Slam carriers. These aircraft carried the famous 10 ton earthquake bomb.
    • B.II as DS763. This model represents the 300 Bristol Hercules engined Lancasters produced, of which none survive.
    • B.III in mid war specification, fitted with the early de Havilland "needle blade" props, and flame dampers. This aircraft will be marked as ED888, the Lancaster which had the highest tally of operations - one hundred and forty.
    • B.III (Special). This model, with spinning bomb, represents ED932, the Lancaster flown on the legendary Dams raid by W/Cdr Guy Gibson.
    • B.X as an early series aircraft, with American instrumentation, a British FN50 turret and de Havilland props. This aircraft will probably be painted as KB700 "Ruhr Express" - the first Canadian produced Lancaster.
    • B.X as a late series aircraft, again with American instrumentation, Martin 250CE turret, and marked as Canadian Warplane Heritage's airworthy FM213, painted to represent KB726.

    What an absolutely fantastic aircraft! I was initially sceptical about buying this as I mainly do virtual airline flying, but I'm so glad I did! On loading the aircraft up, I was sat on the taxiway with a cold dark aircraft. Once I managed to flip ALL the switches for startup the sound of those Merlin engines came flooding through and I was in heaven. Not only that, but it is fairly easy to fly and looks fantactic! A fantastic fun aircraft to while awya the hours - I have been! Oh and if you have activesky... take a look around - great fun sat in the bomb aimers position watching the world go by underneath! Well done Plane Design!

    Plane Design have come up with a fantastic package offering a broad variety of Lancaster models from the early war models to the BBMF aircraft - even Guy Gibson's 617 'Dam busters' squadron Lanc is in there. Flying at 150ft over water in the dark is a good challenge for any pilot !
