1.8 metric tons = 3968 pounds

The Lancaster could drop bombs this big.

“The Lancaster could drop bombs this big.”

The Lanc could carry the 12,000 lb “Tall Boy” bomb, but I don’t think it fit flush in the bomb bay.

It did go ‘BOOM’ though.

And thanks for the conversion. There’s ton, short ton, long ton, metric ton, tonne, it just confuses me.
