that really is some bomb bay isn't it!

no wonder the Murkin lads, who invited the RAF chaps over to look at their B-17s when they arrived at UK bases, were a little green, when they saw the mighty Lanc! :D

fab snaps AA - thanks!

I agreee SM I did take some similar of PA474 in the hangar BNC [before new camera] but it was too dark & they just look like a black cavern :(

It is pretty well taken care of. I hope they can get it flying some day but I'm not sure.

She is in much better condition now than she has ever been. She will soon have 3 running engines as well as operating brakes, flaps bombdoors and landing lights. Sadly there is nowhere to fly her from as she is housed in a hangar right beside a main Highway in town. One day hopefully she will be able to taxi a short distance under her own power.

Nantons Lanc has the load specs inside the bombdoors but they have been overpainted a few times.
