Lancaster propeller Feathering switch, in immaculate condition.1942   Section Reference Number : 5C/4854

   Type: XJ-D/4 The Lancaster's four propellers faced forward at right angles to drive air backwards producing thrust but with an engine stopped, that 'open' propeller position suddenly created enormous drag on the  airframe. To compensate for this, the Lancaster was equipped with four Engine Propeller Feathering Switches mounted on the pilot's flying panel to the right of the Throttle Controls. When pressed, a stationary propeller would be automatically rotated to turn edge-first into the air stream reducing drag and perhaps ensuring the Lancaster gained those extra precious miles it needed to reach home safely.
