AVRO Lancaster, Manchester, Lincoln and Shackleton (and derivatives) Ideas and Inspiration
GTX_Admin:
Hi folks,
A thread dedicated to your AVRO Lancaster, Manchester and Lincoln (and derivatives - e.g. Shackleton) Ideas and Inspiration.
To start with, I am sure many of you have read/heard that the AVRO Manchester originally had provision catapult assisted takeoff. But have you ever seen what this might have looked like? Well look below:
regards,
Greg

As I've mentioned elsewhere, a derivative of the Lincoln analogous to the Lancastrian derivative of the Lancaster. For cargo-hauling or tanker ops, it'd be a nice move. You could also add the "Tiger Force" saddle tanks if you needed yet more fuel storage capacity.
GTX_Admin:
Supposedly the AVRO Manchester was designed to be able to carry two 18 in (457 mm) torpedoes internally. Has anyone seen a photo with this fit?
More importantly, how about an AVRO Manchester or better yet a Lancaster in Coastal Command garb in a low level torpedo run...
Maverick:
I did a run of Manchesters in 08 & 11 including Coastal Command schemes, Highball bombers & gunships.
Regards,
John
