I tend toward the ac that never had top billing. I make an exception here. I was a member of 242 years ago, and that v-squadron actually started out trying to make a night bomber sim. When that became too much, the squadron formed to give a place for the friends made. My flying skills sucked, so here I am instead. I respect my commitment to TD, but there's some added incentive here. Hopefully, they're not gagging at the gushing

Buster... you've made my day! The hope of one day flying the Lancaster would be spectacular!
I've taken quite a few pictures of Vera (CWH's Mynarski Memorial Lancaster) as it lives quite close by. ![]() ![]() ![]() Never been able to get inside but if I can get a close up shot from the outside that might help... let me know!

Thanks for the offer. Looks like a MK VII or X. Ours is a Mk I.

Yes, the Canadian bird is a very late model that was intended for the Pacific, but never had to go there. It was armed with M2 Brownings in .50 BMG, instead of the original .303 guns.

Yep. It's a Mark X which as I understand is a Mark III with some US made equipment and electronics.
Here's the brief from the website: Quote:

The Martin turret in the B24D is a close match except for computing sight and input box. Radios, autopilot, Flight Engineer panel layout, etc. fritter that savings away in a hurry. I'm using F for Freddie and S for Sugar as the basis for what internal gear to model. Those airframes suggest to me that the early equipment could soldier on if needed, so it would not be a stretch to have this Mk I cover the whole war. You'll hear less me this and me that in the future. I just happen to be the one who was free enough to start.
