Lancaster mod numbers

Hi CD

The plate seems to have originated from a lanc that was scrapped – most likely at the wars end. Maybe contacting the EAFM is the thing to do…!

Thanks for looking

There is a list of Mod Numbers in ‘The Lancaster Manual’ published by the RAFM (basically AP2062A & AP2026C) that goes from 397 to 805 (approved up to 31st January 1943) but none of the mods you listed are included.

There are gaps; for example 434 and 436 are there but nothing is listed for 435.

Sorry can’t help other than that; where did you get these mod numbers from?

Thanks a lot Al and also Smirky

do any of the Lanc experts on the forum know?

Can’t help except to note that NONE of these is on the list in AP2062B for the Lancaster II.

It would be good to have a complete list by mod. number.:rolleyes:

From an internet search…
“37. Diving
(i) On aircraft in which Mod. 1101 or 1131 is incorporated it is possible to recover from dives to the limiting speed without the assistance of the elevator trimming tab, even if the aircraft has been trimmed into the dive. If the elevator trimming tab is used, it should be applied with care, since it is powerful and sensitive.
(ii) On unmodified aircraft there is a strong nose-down change of trim ai speed is famed in the dive. On these aircraft the elevator trimming tab should never be used to assistentry, but should be used to reduce the very heavy pull force otherwise necessary for recovery.
The flight engineer should be prepared to assist the pilot if required.”
