AVRO LANCASTER MANUAL

The legendary Avro Lancaster receives the famous Haynes manual treatment with the full co-operation and authorisation of the Royal Air Force. Here is a unique perspective on what it takes to restore and operate a Lancaster, as well as a wonderful insight into the engineering and construction of this remarkable aeroplane. Presented mainly in colour, this highly detailed and attractively designed book is based primarily around the major overhaul of the Battle of Britain Flight Lancaster at RAF Coningsby.

 

• The Lancaster story – the story of a fighting aircraft.
• Restoration and flight – the anatomy of a Lancaster.
• Operating a Lancaster – originality, costs, paperwork.
• The aircrew’s view – flying and displaying a Lancaster, and wartime aircrews’ view.
• The engineer’s view – servicing and maintenance.
• Appendices providing a glossary of terms and details of useful contacts.
