Lancaster Tail Gunner Turret Tour PoV Tailend Charlie

Описание: Point of view tour of the Avro Lancaster rear turret.

Join me as I enter and explore the rear turret of Avro Lancaster NX611 ‘Just Jane’.

Imagine to long hours of bitter cold, pitch black and isolation the young men had to endure in this position, while being hunted by an unseen enemy out there in the dark!

The main role of the rear gunner was to observe and call a threat early to move out of the way. Firing his machine guns was a last resort as the tracers would give away the bombers position.

Many night fighter pilots would give up on a manoeuvring bomber and seek easier prey
