Un vieux bombardier de la guerre 40-45 dans un musée, c'est impressionnant.
Mais quand il vole, c'est encore bien mieux.
A voir en plein écran, écouter au casque avec du volume.
JT
J' ai le plaisir de vous présenter, ce magnifique reportage, dédié à cet avion le "LANCASTER" 
Pour les férus ou les nostalgiques de cette ancienne génération d' avion,
 je vous souhaite un bon vol, comme si vous y étiez.
Tout y est : (Les 7 hommes d'équipage à leur poste)
- Le bruit des moteurs ( 4 x Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 de 1280 CV chacun, voire de 1460 CV chacun en version Mk 1)
- Les vibrations (Si,Si... avec la caméra)
- 1500 pieds en palier (450 m)
- Vario 0
- 2100 trs sur les 4 moulins
- Mitrailleurs à leur poste, mitrailleuses engagées (8 à 10 mitrailleuses de 7,70 mm suivant la version - Cal 303)
- "Paré à larguer" (de 6500 à 8000 kgs de bombes)
Manque plus que les odeurs d'huile et d' essence...

Wings of Memory : Berging van de lancaster DX-P in Lierde



Tijdens de eerste winternacht (21 december) van 1942 vlogen de bommenwerpers van Bomber Command richting Munchen. Omstreeks 23u30 ving de Freya-radar langs de kust de eerste berichten op van de aankomende formatie. Vanop St.-Truiden werden 5 toestellen op goed geluk ingezet. Ook vanop Laon-Athies startten de Messerschmitts van de 1.NJG 4 de motoren en verspreidden zich doorheen het Vlaamse luchtruim. Eén van de indringers was de Lancaster met rompcode DX-P,een toestel van het 57 Squadron, die nacht opgestegen in Scampton (Engeland). Iets na 23u30 werd de Avro lancaster MK l DX-P for peter, met serienummer W4234 neergeschoten boven Steenhuize (Belgie-Oost-Vlaanderen) door Hauptmann Wilhelm Herget in een Messersschmitt 110 van het 1.NJG 4.Het toestel stortte wat verder neer op de Lierdese wijk Kakebeke.Met uitzondering vande Nieuw-Zeelandse staartschutter Sgt P.B.Pickford, die gewond gevangen werd genomen en de rest van de oorlog zou doorbrengen in Stalag 344 te Lamsdorf, kwam de ganse bemanning om het leven. Op de begraafplaats van Geraardsbergen rusten hun stoffelijke resten. Lees meer: http://lancasterdxp.webnode.com/het-verhaal/ Creëer gratis uw eigen website: http://www.webnode.nl

A modern day mission: Lancaster bomber crew prepares for action 70 years on in remarkable set of airfield pictures | Mail Online

Inline image 1Forwarded message From: Philippe Deman 


Posing tentatively in their uniforms, at first glance they could be a Lancaster Bomber crew preparing for a daring war-time mission.
But these photos were not taken 70 years ago, but this week at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre - the former Lancaster bomber base at RAF East Kirkby.
Admirers of the war-time planes stepped back in time to relive the sights, sounds and smells of the famous bomber which helped destroy the Nazi war machine.
They dressed up in original uniforms and sat in the cockpit of 'Just Jane', one of only three Lancasters left in the world capable of flying....
