6th from the right on the front row, or 1st and/or second from the right on the third row from the front, is either like or the same as the 4klbs in AH's Lancaster?

Nope, those are all modern.

The 4,000lb egg our Lancaster has is basically a barrel of explosives.

I see they have to cover the pilot's and gunner's eyes so they won't see what they're being loaded up with! :D

Don't the three sections imply that it's a 12,000lb bomb?

i'd love to see what the 22,000 lb grandslam would do to a m-16 or an osty.
