    Great photo again Baz. I'd much rather be above than below this bad boy.

    Looks pilots are much closer to each other than in case of US bombers. Interesting, thanks for posting.

    In wartime they only had one pilot Daniel, no controls on the right side. The BBMF Lanc has dual controls fitted.
    A Lancaster Bomber had a crew of seven: pilot, navigator, bomb aimer, flight engineer, wireless operator, mid gunner and rear gunner.

    A unique photo indeed, Barry. Thanks!
    Looking at the terrain background I'd love to see that plane from above to check how it blends with the countryside.
    The RAF Dark Earth (the brown colour) is matched almost pefectly with the ground behind the aircraft.

    Another great photo, Baz.
    You could make a terrific coffee table book with your pictures.
