G'day all

I meant to ask this a while back...

What are the correct variant abbreviations - Lancaster B.I, B.II etc or Mk I, Mk II etc ?

The reason I ask is that all my references show the B.I type abbreviation, whereas the game uses Mk II

This brings me to my next question - which lanc (that came with the game) do we have ??

The B.II model had the Bristol Hercules radial engine (the games Mk II aren't radials).

Have we incorrectly named our Lanc ?

Cheers,

Yep, we have. The Mk's I and III had Merlins. The III had Packard-built ones.

I guess it would be an easy fix for the next PP....

but then we'd run into the problem of having to fix ALL the missions that have a Lanc....

I think I'll put up with the current name
