I must admit there are some fantastic images here and thanks Mutley for bringing them to my attention and i will certainly look into this further :sad: , but one thing i must disagree with, i don't think the Lancaster and the Halifax look similar at all apart from the tail!
Thank you for your comments, i'm glad someone knows more about the engines on these aircraft than me :clap: ,while i'm quite good on aircraft recognition you have me at a disadvantage with the powerplants :blush !
A colleague of mine actually signed off some maintainance work on the left engine of this aircraft on it's last major overhaul about a year ago here in S Wales at GEAS . To say he's a bit tense at the moment is an understatement.
