B. III This variant, which was built concurrently with the B.I and was indistinguishable externally apart from being fitted with Packard-built Merlin engines. The Packard Merlin used Bendix-Stromberg pressure-injection carburettors requiring the addition of slow-running cut-off switches in the cockpit. BAE Lancaster page
Brilliant resume of the main bits and pieces of the majestic Lancaster thanks. The only thing you missed was that the bomb aimer also operated the front guns in the FN5 turret; saying that they were very seldom used and actually had a dedicated gunner for the Dams raid (Operation Chastise) 16/17 May 1943 in the sole instance I can think of where the front guns were certainly used in anger. Subscribed and relishing the prospect of going through your catalogue of wonderful Lancaster instructional videos; very many thanks.
