LINCOLN

The Avro Lincoln was a British four-engined heavy bomber developed from the Lancaster for use in the Far East during the Second World War. Modifications to the original Lancaster design included re-arming the Lincoln with 0.50 inch calibre guns - later models including two 20 mm cannons in the mid-upper turret - and increasing the dimensions to permit greater load carrying. Four Rolls-Royce Merlin 85 engines gave the Avro Lincoln a top speed of 480 kmh and a range of 5760 km. The Avro Lincoln carried a crew of seven and up to 14000 lbs of bombs.
