A couple of years ago I went up in a B-17 for the better part of an hour. It is very noisy inside from the engines and wind and very little room to move around. After that brief ride it just reinforced the tremendous admiration for those who spent long hours at altitude in the bitter cold over Germany. Flying in those conditions with MEs, FWs and Flak doing their best to kill you is not for the faint of heart.
As to the cross Atlantic flight in the Lancaster: I think it would get really boring spending hours and hours over nothing but water. The takeoff and landing and first few hours would be really great however. Just my opinion anyway.
