Mark,

The Halifax and Hastings centre sections are identical, it’s the intermediate wingsections that are wider than the Halifax’. The section over the centresection of the Halifax was called the covered waggon, not on the Lancaster. Nice thread by the way, keep it up.

Cees,

I knew there was a difference between the Halifax and Hastings wing, I thought it was in the Centre-section, again due to the fuselage size, what was the reason for the difference in the intermediate section?

I use the term covered wagon to describe the fuselage section built integral to the Lancaster wing centre-section, I have heard its not a correct term for the Lancaster but it does seem to be recognised by others.

I suffer similar problems describing the next section of fuselage aft containing the mid upper turret, which I usually call the “centre-rear” fuselage, as against the tail section of fuselage containing the tail turret, I havent noticed a diagram applying actual names to these sections?

I guess I could resort to describing them via stations or formers?
