A Lancaster with radial engines??? I didn't know they had one. Well I
guess they'll try lots of different experiments and variants in order to
get the finished production design right. Presumable the RR Merlins
didn't grow on tree's.


Yep. Merlins were needed for fighters, and everytime
a Lanc went down it took 4 scarce Merlins with it. There
are more radial engined Lancs in the series, stay tuned.


Thanks Mitchell, Looking forward to seeing more of your posts
