An insight into restoring, servicing and flying Britain's legendary World War Two bomber.
The legendary Avro Lancaster receives the famous Haynes manual treatment with the full co-operation and authorisation of the Royal Air Force.
Here is a unique insight into what it takes to restore and operate a Lancaster, as well as a wonderful insight into the engineering and construction of this remarkable aeroplane.
Presented mainly in colour, this highly detailed and attractively designed book is based primarily around the major overhaul of the Battle of Britain Flight Lancaster at RAF Coningsby.
Includes the Lancaster story, the anatomy of the aircraft, operating a Lancaster, flying and displaying a Lancaster, the views of wartime air crews, the engineer's view on servicing and maintenance, glossary of terms and useful contact details.
The manual is brought to you by Flypast magazine deputy editor Jarrod Cotter, who has flown both airworthy Lancasters in existence, and Paul Blackah, chief technician at the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
