Avro Lancaster NX611 "Just Jane" Virtual Tour

[HaraldJoergens]

There are only three Lancasters in the world that are not stationary in a museum:
The BBMF Mk.III PA474, the Canadian Mk.X FM213, and NX611 "Just Jane".

This virtual tour has been created for the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre in East Kirkby. There are three panoramas from the outside, eight of the inside, from the bomb aimer to the rear gunner, and a high resolution panorama of the Memorial Chapel.

Almost all details are labelled, many explained, just move the mouse cursor over an item of interest.

Click here open the virtual tour, and switch to full screen mode!

A bit more about the panorama can be found here.

Next to come are a Tiger Moth. If you can think of an aircraft that could benefit from such work, please let me know!

No duel controls?!?

No duel controls?!?

They would be useless with only one pilot seat....

Okay, thanks hozer, I stand corrected. HAL, seems like a lot of plane for one guy to fly. I guess the brits did things a little different from us.

Not only the Brits, as far as I know the German bombers of WWII had single controls as well.

In the UK, the flight engineers, although not qualified pilots, would have known a bit about flying the aircraft, but hardly enough to land, especially with a damaged Lancaster.
