Re: bombing speed Lancaster
The Lancaster Pilot's Notes recommend with Merlin XXs and a full load outward 170 mph IAS to 15,000ft and 160 mph IAS at 20,000ft. On return 160 mph IAS. With Merlin 22, 24 or 28 subtract 5 mph in each case
If you read combat reports speed is quoted, usually between 150 and 160 IAS At 18,000ft 160 mph IAS is around 217 mph TAS Martin
