Get the BimmerJim mug.British WW2 heavy bomber designed by Roy Chadwick and built by Avro in the UK, as well as under license in Canada (Mk X). It evolved out of Chadwicks earlier design, the Avro Manchester, which was universally hated by all who were condemned to fly it, due to poor engine design. When Chadwick was able to get hold of 4 precious Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 engines, he put them on the Manchester, lengthened the wings, and a legend was born.
The Lancaster was the mainstay of RAF Bomber Command from 1942 onwards, and was used for a variety of specialist tasks such as attacking the Ruhr Dams and sinking the Tirpitz. Its main role however, was in the great Area Raids which laid waste to many German cities by night whilst the Americans attacked by day.
It was the most effective bomb hauler in the Allies European Arsenal (the Boeing B-29 Superfortress could carry a larger bomb load, but was only employed in the Pacific against Japan towards the end of the War), and could carry almost twice the load of its US counterparts in Europe, these being the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and the Consolidated B-24 Liberator bombers.
Approximately 7000 Lancasters were built, of which roughly 4000 were lost on operational service, i.e. shot down by enemy night-fighters, anti-aircraft fire, or crashes.
Although controversy still rages over the employment of the Lancaster during the Strategic Air Offensive against Germany (Lancasters were the only bombers used by the RAF for the Dresden Raid of 13/14 Feb 1945 for example), there is little dispute that it was one of the greatest aircraft designs of the Second World War.

Get the Bieberized mug.A twitter troll pretending to be an 11 year old girl named Jessica. When you read her tweets, you will literally want to claw your eyes out. Tweets about sexual thoughts with Justin Bieber, and how she has sex with her 'cute 16 year old cousin'. She's also racist cunt, and hates everyone who isn't white, doesn't have blue eyes and blonde hair, isn't straight, and isn't as skinny as a Victoria's Secret model. Directioners hate her because she's a disrespectful prick who sends hate to the boys. Rumors say that she's really 17, Mexican, and her real name is Yesenia. Oh yeah, and she has a dumbfucked friend who goes by PlasticKimmyxo, who is equally as ignorant as her. Don't believe me? Go to her twitter and read her tweets. And just to make this clear, all Muslims are not all terrorists. So shut up, and stop being an ignorant cunt. Who cares if Niall has braces, or that his hair is died? He's perfect the way he is, and doesn't need to change for anybody. So what if Liam had one kidney? It doesn't mean that he's different from anyone else. And newsflash, he has two now. So go hate on that. Harry doesn't need Proactiv. Not everybody is obsessed with having clear skin. And Louis is not irrelevant to One Direction. Because at the end of the day, he's still 1/5th of the band, and you're just a hater who has nothing else to do but send hate towards everyone. Grow up already.
plastic bieber: 'I don't care about school! I just want to make a sextape with @JustinBieber and grow up to be a famous princess like Paris Hilton.'
