Cockpits (Pt 1 of 14) - Avro Lancaster b.jpg
I thought the Lancaster was a single pilot plane. Was there a copilot for
the extra controls? |

Thanks for the info. Makes sense that you would need extra controls for
training. |

The wartime Lancaster was flown single-pilot, with a folding jump seat where the Flight Engineer sat for take-off and landing, handling the engine controls. Post-war, a second, linked control column was added, for search and rescue and maritime patrol flights. Both flying Lancasters - the CWH and the BBMF - are flown with a copilot. Here is a link to the CWH aircraft cockpit. You can see the folded jump seat on the right side. The pilots tell me that the minimal padding of the seat limits the flight length!
