easterneagle87 Posted January 15, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 15, 2023 Got this in a group of photos. I believe this shot to have been taken in the US. It's a WW2 British bomber. I think it is a Halifax bomber. But the top turret on the back is farther back than pictures I've seen. Something rings in my head as I think I've seen this shot before. I think it is from a famous visit to the US. Any further info appreciated. Link to comment
Rakkasan187 Posted January 16, 2023 Share #2 Posted January 16, 2023 This looks like the Avro Lancaster. Leigh Link to comment

T BIRD Posted April 24, 2023 Share #5 Posted April 24, 2023 THE EARLY LANC'S HAD THE TURRET BACK FARTHER THAN THE LATER MkVII AND MkX. IT HAD TO DO WITH THE LATER TURRET'S BEING HEAVIER. SO IT GOT MOVED FORWARD SOME FOR LONGITUDINAL BALANCE. THE EARLIER HALIFAX HAD WAIST TURRET'S AND LATER HAD A DORSAL TURRET; AS FOR THE PICTURE; IT IS A NICE ONE. BEST; T BIRD Link to comment
