Avro Lancaster – Explore the Port Fuselage!

Описание: Here, we shall look at the locations of all the equipment fitted on the Avro Lancaster Bomber’s Port Side of the Fuselage. We shall be using my reworked wartime Air Ministry diagram so you can see, as we move through the fuselage, where everything was installed.
