I did enter a Lancaster about fifteen years ago. I think it was in Vulcan Alberta. The main obstruction to get into the cockpit from the back of the aircraft was the wing root. Had to literally crawl over it so little wonder that exiting was a challenge. Sitting in the cockpit the pilot's view over the wings was like looking over immense barn doors.
