Wonder what the story is behind this Lanc on a USAAF station

the tyres seem flat and the prop on the starboard outer prop looks to be feathered

The B17g ‘Bit-o-lace’ I think was/is the Airfix one.

What a superb video … I mean the Lanc’s mildly interesting … the amazing colour footage of the B17s with radar and yellow markings, the Malcolm Hood P51 (B or C?), and the Razorback P47. Just brilliant. D
You failed to mention the starboard outer pr………………….:D

What a wonderful video. The lanc itself is of some passing interest but the colourfully marked B-17, blown hood Mustang and the early ish P47 makes the film all the more worth watching.

The Lanc’s OK … but the rest. Wow!

Starboard outer prop looks feathered.
Is there an echo around here 😀
