At more than 21 metres long and with a wingspan exceeding 31 metres, the Lancaster has an imposing presence. It can carry a crew of seven, with three gunner positions, and has four engines.

I've seen this aircraft in person. It's an incredibly cool artifact, and the story behind it is insane.

I went to see the one at the Nanton Lancaster Museum about 20 years ago. It is a seriously impressive aircraft.
