| I believe the Lancaster bomb bay was as long,and open (not sectioned), as it was because it was designed to carry torpedoes. This was a requirement of the original Air Ministry order. Don't know whether they ever did operate with them. Not to my knowledge but someone may no better. Steve Last edited by stona; 11-01-2009 at 01:14 PM. |
