INTRODUCTION

The Lancaster B Mk 1 is a World War II heavy bomber aircraft, with a ‘mid

fuselage’ straight wing, ‘H’ tail and conventional control surfaces. It is an

all-metal construction (aluminium alloys) with a retractable undercarriage

and an enclosed cockpit. It is powered by 4 Merlin super-charged ‘V type

V12’ piston engines, coupled to Hamilton propellers. It is maintained

in service by the RAF for operation by the Battle of Britain Memorial

Flight (BBMF) as a dedicated commemorative and display aircraft, used

solely for flypasts and displays as tasked by the RAF Ceremonial and

Air Events Team, and for training BBMF display pilots for those duties.

No weapons, flares or external stores are carried.
