Congratulations to Eric Fotheringham of
Upton, MA, for correctly identifying
April's mystery plane as the Avro Lincoln,
the last piston-engine bomber to serve the
Royal Air Force (RAF)- Virtually a scaled-up
version of its predecessor—the famous
Lancaster bomber—the Lincoln was pow-
ered by four Rolls-Royce Merlin 85
engines with annular radiators. Armed
with twin .50-caliber Browning machine
guns in the nose turret, two 20mm
Hispano Mk4 or Mk5 cannon in the dorsal
turret, twin .50-caliber machine guns in
the rear turret and up to 14,000 pounds of
bombs, the Lincoln was originally intend-
ed for use in the Pacific theater, but it
arrived on the scene too late for opera-
tional service. First issued to the RAF in
September 1945, the Lincoln became its
standard postwar heavy bomber, and 20
squadrons were eventually equipped with
the plane. The 120-foot-wingspan bomber
was pro-
duced in several different versions, and in addition to 168 aircraft built by Avro, Lincolns were also pro-
duced by Armstrong-Vickers and Armstrong Whitworth and in Canada and Australia. One Lincoln was
even converted for the bulk uplift of fuel and made 45 civil runs during the Berlin Airlift.
