Chiz,

Thanks for that. I remember visiting this museum many years ago. Spent most of the day there and got quite friendly with some of the staff. Almost got to go inside the Lanc after explaining that my father is a 36 mission Lanc vet (Aussie flying for the NZ airforce in 75 Sqdn) Unfortunately some senior staff member showed up and that put an end to the internal visit of the Lanc.

From memory the Lanc was an ex french maritime unit hence the twin MG's in the tail turrent rather than the traditional (and ineffective) quad .303's
