Lancman Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Finn, agreed very Tamiya esc I did mention this a while back and if it's the only load available in the kit I will be very disappointed. I did say we need SBC's included in the kit as most carried a varied load and the load shown was really only used on V1 sites as demonstrated in the link of Lancaster bomb loads. http://www.lancaster-archive.com/lanc_bomb_loads.htm Graham PhilB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Thanks Lancman, that is very useful info and sobering to think about the recipients of each load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Yes, good link. After I previously posted a link to the prog about 617's raids against the Tirpitz, I did wonder if the am industry would be coming up with a 1/32 Tallboy and maybe a Grand Slam for other Lanc operations ? Oh yes, with a trolley as well please ! Edited October 8, 2018 by PhilB LSP_K2 and Southern Bandit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, with a trolley as well please ! I treated an old fella that flew on that mission. Just came out with it and asked me in a way that he assumed he'd have to explain to me what he was talking about. I was astonished.

mozart Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 The Lancaster Archive site owned and run by Larry Wright (an Englishman based in Canada) used to have a very good forum; we had many active veterans who supplied us with real gems of information about Lancasters and wartime operations. I was privileged to have met and had lengthy discussions with several but sadly Larry pulled the plug on the forum for reasons which he never fully explained. Most of my contacts have now passed on though I remain friends and regularly exchange information with members spread across the globe.

Kagemusha Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 There is a really good Channel 4 documentary on the raid. Southern Bandit, LSP_Matt and PhilB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the number of times they did the run, the removal of guns and armour plate and adding a big fuel tank inside the aircraft, they were very vulnerable. Interesting speculation about why the nearby fighters were scrambled so late and missed them too. LSP_Matt and Southern Bandit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Found yours with the cookie but only a Belcher Bits one in 1/48 with the fittings to take a Grand Slam or Tallboy and none of the bombs in 1/32.

Tony T Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 There was a trolley with a "cookie" included in the Corgi 1/32 Mosquito B.XVI. Ground handling gear + blue peeps can give a nice sense of scale, just plonked on the shelf (without the need to tread along the "in a field near Stalingrad" diorama pathway).

Yes because they used to stack them in a pile between the main girders on the 'E' Trolley. Graham LSP_K2 and Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
