	Avro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Avro was a British aircraft manufacturer, well known for planes such as the Avro Lancaster which served in World War II.
		The older Avro York was somewhat more successful in both the RAF and in commercial service, being distinguished by a fuselage square in cross-section.
		The Royal Flight of the United Kingdom bought a few and a variant with a rear-loading ramp and a "kneeling" main undercarriage was sold to the RAF and several members of the Commonwealth as the Andover, named after a town in Hampshire.

		Lancastrians were used during the Berlin Airlift to transport petrol, 15 aircraft made over 5000 sorties.
		Lancastrians were used for tests of various turboprop and jet engines.

		In the 1950s A.V.Roe's Canadian Division developed the Avro Arrow, a technical marvel and at the time the most advanced fighter interceptor.
		The design never left the prototyping phase, however; the Canadian government's decision to scrap the project due to cost overruns and the perceived obsolescence of the fighter interceptor role ultimately led to the demise of Avro Canada.

		Avro Manchester-387 viewsThe Avro Manchester had a relatively brief service career, from November 1940 to June 1942, largely because of problems associated by the unreliability and eventual lack of power shown by the Rolls-Royce Vulture I engines with which it was fitted.

	Was that a Lancastrian?
		The " Ghost- Lancastrian" testbed tested the DH Ghost engines in the immediate post-World War II period and four of these engines were used to power the world's first pure jet airliner in 1949, the de Havilland Comet 1.
		Another Lancastrian testbed was fitted with two Rolls-Royce Nene centrifugal turbojet engines of similar thrust to the Ghost engine(The Nene-Lancastrian) and flew from Paris to London in the then fast time of 41 minutes.

		Its 12 Lancastrian and Lancaster aircraft and 28 aircrews had transported seven million gallons of petrol a total distance of 1.8 million miles; in one month carrying a record-breaking 1.3 million gallons.
		The Lancastrian’s last message to Hurn Airport air traffic control at Bournemouth was that it was at 2,000 feet and descending to break cloud.
		He was thrown through the Lancastrian’s escape hatch in the impact which saw the aircraft burst into flames in a copse.

		The AVRO Lancastrian was even more of a rush job that the York.
		Lancastrians had a shorter useful working life than the AVRO York but performed the role of stop-gap passenger aircraft, pioneered Air to Air Refueling and flew thousands of gallons of liquid fuel into Berlin during the crisis.
		No Lancastrians survive although the remains of one was recently found high up in a mountain range in Argentina.

		At this time the name Lancaster was probably used by the Canadians, since, strictly speaking, the term Lancastrian hadn't yet been devised.
		At around this time BOAC was having severe problems with their Avro Tudor aircraft.
		Avro (in the UK) took a look at the Canadian subsidiary's Lancaster conversions and decided they could use the XPP in the interim until the Tudor problems were remedied (they never were.) So Avro went ahead and further enhanced the Canadian conversion, numbering 20 aircraft.

	NLS - Lancasters After The War
		The Avro York was designed as a long-range transport aircraft and employed the same wings, undercarriage, and engines as the Lancaster.
		The Avro Lancastrian was a long range passenger aircraft which was developed by modifying regular production British Lancasters in 1944.
		So the Avro Lancaster, which played such a pivotal role during World War II, was part of a long lineage spanning some six decades which began with the Manchester design of 1936 and continued until the last flight of the Shackleton in the late 1980's.

		With a staff of ex-Bomber Command crews, all with an intimate knowledge of the Lancaster, its civilian adaptation (now called Lancastrian) was an obvious choice of aircraft to cover the long range routes allotted to the airline.
		After a few years of operation (including some tragic accidents), BSAA had replaced the Lancastrians with the Avro Tudor and in 1949 the airline merged with BOAC and became history.
		I have had the pleasure of hearing the Avro Lancaster from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight on many occasions, and the sound file for this aircraft is as good a representation of this sound as I have ever heard in MSFS.
