Rendar,
I've read an account that said the wings sprang downward when they released it.
Lifting that much caused a most unhealthy looking bow, with the tips skyward, out of the wings.
If we consider that a laden bomber normally hadles like a pregnant water buffalo, the the Lanc with a 22,000lb bomb would probably handle like a water buffalo pregnant with triplets.

I don't think we'll ever have to worry about it in AH though. We'll be getting a standard Lancaster (hopfully one that was built in the first half of '42

).
