Please make the next series about the da Havilland Mosquito! I would like that so much and that is a fascinating airplane for sure! Great videos by the way! I am blown away by the depth of the details you cover each and every part of a plane. Like an 18 minute video on the props of the Spitfire!! Whaaaat?? So amazing! Thank you very much for all of your effort!

Thankyou for the swift reply. Almost impossible to see at my screen resolution. Father trained and flew on both Hallies and Lancs. Really enjoy your posts.

I remember going in the front part of a Halifax and thinking how all the positions were on the left , above or below eachother. Was probably Imperial War museum or RAF museum both in London in the 90s.

This video is based on the original wartime Handley Page factory drawing used to illustrate the locating of equipment and to also calculate weight and balance. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Bryan, Never too old to learn, did not know the radio op sat under the pilot. Again like the Lancaster a lot of kit in a small space, Brave men those bomber command guys.

Where is the location for the flight engineer’s position and controls? They seem to be omitted.

If you look just aft of the Astrodome on the Port side, you will see white text showing where the Flight Engineer's Panel is located. Hope this helps.

Sure looks like a lot of ‘stuff’ was located on the port side of the fuselage (flares, rear gun ammo box crates, etc) - I have to wonder if that made things heavy on that side and needed trim tabs to keep it level. Thanks again for a peek into history!

Thanks Pat. This original Handley page drawing, was used to position all equipment within the Bomber's fuselage. Weights and dimensions of equipment were all known and equipment positioned within the drawing for best possible operational access and to conform to the aircraft's centre of gravity. A hard job indeed.

@@ukaircraftexplored6556 I can only imagine the fine detail it took to keep things just right and properly balanced.
