How many people could fit in a Lancaster bomber?

A Lancaster bomber typically had a crew of seven, which included the pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, navigator, bomb aimer, and two gunners. In terms of passenger capacity, it could theoretically accommodate around 10-12 people if additional seating were arranged, but this would be highly impractical and not advisable due to the design and operational purpose of the aircraft. The focus of the Lancaster was primarily on its role as a heavy bomber, not for transporting large numbers of people.
