FLYING THE AVRO LANCASTER-Classic Cockpits DVD

A brand new 65 minute DVD from `Rick Searle Productions` giving a fascinating insight into the cockpit of a classic British heavy bomber.
Derived from the twin-engined Avro Manchester, the Lancaster was designed for one purpose; to carry bombs. Its bomb bay was stressed to take more than 20,000 lbs of high explosive.
Powered by four Rolls Royce Merlin engines, it carried enough fuel to take it deep into the German heartland, destroying cities & wreaking havoc on Hitler`s heavy industries.
The Lancaster is perhaps best known for the famous "Dam Busters Raid" in May 1943, when aircraft of the RAF`s 617 Squadron attacked the Mohne, Eder, Sorpe & Ennepe dams in the Ruhr using the revolutionary "bouncing bomb" designed by Dr Barnes Wallis.
In this documentary film the Lancaster is flown from its base at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Hamilton, Ontario by Don Schofield, a retired Air Canada captain.
After a detailed cockpit tour & pre-flight inspection, we join the crew for some local flying in the Hamilton area. Multiple cameras in accompanying B-25, Harvard & Bell Jetranger provide a spectacular aerial perspective.
