Now there's a kid who's got a good knack for the important things in life. :-) A Lancaster visited my local airport a couple years ago. With the (something like) 16 engines and 128 counter rotating props, it sounds like a complete squandron all by itself. If you ever get a chance, go stand next to the main wheels. They are *huge*. The Lancaster is an awsome piece of machinery.
