Now that's a Lanc

That’s the one! I can still hear it now!

Is this the one

Rolls-Royce Tyne testbed Avro Lincoln G-37-1 at Farnborough 8th September 1956 flying on only the nose Tyne with the four props feathered.

And, of course, at Farnborough 1956 a Lincoln carried out an impressive display with all four Merlins feathered!

Does a Tyne come into this somewhere?

Very impressive pics of the Lincoln and the Lanc with three feathered. Seem to remember seeing a pic and a film clip of a Shack circa early ’50’s at Farnborough doing similar…with an ASR lifeboat underneath, and the runner was the starboard outer. That was really impressive.

Thanks MoM, that’s part way there!

From my father’s scrap book in the section under :-

North Creake 2nd tour No.199 Halifax, RCM Sqn. 100 Group Feb-July ’45

But could a Halifax do it as well? Anyone any thoughts/anecdotes?

There were trials done on all the heavies for three, two and single engine performance. There are pictures somewhere of the test Hali MKII with just one fan turning and they did calculates the sink rate. (was it BB324 / ZA-X)?

I don’t think any of the operational heavies could stay up with just one fan turning.

Its a good airshow stunt though!

Who cares!

It will also be cheaper to manufacture and repair as one assumes you could change individual panels. Lincoln7 has flown in Lincolns 🙂

Can but disagree … Not sure why though 🙂

I assume it’s something to do with optically flat panels, maybe for gunnery issues associated with the barbette. However, I’m not sure that substituting curved non optically flat perspex for a plethora of metal framework is much of an improvement

How about on three towing a Hamilcar? 1m53s in.

Anything a Lin’ can do a Lanc’ hasta do better? :rolleyes:

Very good.
It is immediately obvious that’s a Lincoln – the conservatory hung on the nose is an instant giveaway. I think they had more glazing in that than there is in my house.

I asked that question in post #11 of the thread “Halifax propeller pitch change during crash” where a crash site appears to reveal three feathered props and only one not feathered. No response then. Any takers now?

Or the Shack display on north front Gib, come in low level with two feathered on one side, feather the other two as you start to unfeather the other ones, unfortunately he was a bit slow on unfeathering and the genny’s on all four tripped off resulting in the 4 electric unfeathering pumps attempting to move all four on battery power alone.. Result, nice belly slide in silence past the crowd.

My father saw the one engine trick at Hooton Park back in the day when they could!
