Avro Lancaster Information

A short history of the Avro Lancaster

An Avro Lancaster Mk III such as ND360 was powered by four Packard-Merlin 38 engines, each rated at 1,390 horsepower, fed through Bendix Stromberg pressure-injected carburettors.  The empty weight of the machine – the structure, power-plants, fuel and oil tanks (empty) was 31,642lbs (14tons).  Added to this the ‘fixed military load’ of 5,169lbs gave a ‘tare weight’ of 36,811lbs (16.43 tons).  In addition the crew, removable military load, fuel and oil, bombs and carriers added a further (notionally) 28,189lbs (12.58 tons) to give a gross weight of 65,000lbs or 29.017 tons.  Take-off power is listed as 6,440 bhp.

I recently discovered this VHS recording dated June 1979. This was the year that affordable domestic video recorders first became available in the UK. Therefore, this ancient recording of mine must be one of the oldest VHS copy of a live broadcast originating in the UK available anywhere.
