	Avro Lincoln in Argentina
		The history of Avro during World War II began with the construction of the Manchester bomber, although its service life was short because it did not fulfill the expectations, nevertheless, served like platform of the most famous one, the Lancaster, that later was the support of the Bomber Command until 1945.
		The total of the Lincoln produced was of 624 units, of which 532 had belonged to the RAF and the rest when finished the war to fill the orders of foreign air forces: eighteen Mk-I for Argentina, a Mk-XV for Canada and fifty four Mk-30 and nineteen Mk-31 for Australia.
		Of the 12 initial Lincolns, originally of the RAF, one of it was rather in England to be drastically modified.

	Lincoln Bomber
		Lincolns were phased out of service in the late 1950s, and were the last piston-engined bombers of the RAF.
		In fifteen years, from 1946 to 1961, 11 Lincolns were written off in accidents (A73-11, 16, 31, 35, 39, 40, 44, 46, 51, 63 and 69) but the remainder gave good service and were eventually sold as scrap or used for fire-fighting practice.
		As the largest aircraft to be built in Australia, the Lincoln goes down in history as a credit to the local aircraft industry, and it also marked the passing in RAAF annals of the era of the multi-engined, heavy bomber, with its large complement of aircrew members.

	Avro
		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.

	Avro Lincoln B2 airplane pictures & aircraft photos - RAF Museums
		Just too late to see service during the Second World War, the Lincoln became the mainstay of Bomber Command post-war, but was destined for a short front line career as the Cold War and the jet age brought the shortcomings of its performance into sharp relief.
		The RAF's lack of an aircraft with sufficient range to be deployed in the Pacific led the Air Ministry to suggest that AV Roe Limited design an enlarged Lancaster to meet the requirement.
		Lincolns were intended to join the Tiger Force in the bombing of Japan but the war ended before they were needed.

		The fuselage of the Avro Type 696 was almost the same length as that of the Lincoln, but almost double the internal volume.
		The rest of the airframe was typically that of the Lincoln, with various parts borrowed from the Avro Tudor.
		To give better all-round performance than the Lincoln, the two-stage Merlin 85 engines were to be replaced by a special variant of the larger Griffon engine.

	Avro Lincoln (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Lincoln became operational too late to see active service in WW2 although plans had been prepared to send several squadrons to the Far East as part of "Tiger Force" for operations against Japan.
		The Lincoln was retired from RAF Bomber Command at the end of 1955, being replaced by the Canberra jet bomber.
		In fact the only RAF aircraft ever to have been shot down by the Soviet air force was a Lincoln on a training flight, which was brought down by MIG 15s in the Berlin air corridor in 1953.

	History Of The Vulcan
		The RAF needed to replace its piston-engined Lancasters and Lincolns and, in 1947, the Air Ministry asked Britain's aircraft designers to submit ideas for a new four-engined jet bomber.
		The flight was from Avro's factory at Woodford, near Stockport, Cheshire, with test-pilot Roly Falk at the controls.
		From 1962, the B2 squadrons at Scampton, near Lincoln, were armed with Blue Steel, a stand-off nuclear missile which could be launched from a range of up to 100 miles from its target.

		Having read the "Lincoln at War 1944-1966" by Mike Garbett and Brian Goldin, it raised the question if we could build a large scale model and do justice to the full size plane.
		The Lincoln was a development from the Lancaster for use with the allied Tiger Force in the pacific.
		The sides are kept apart by 12mm x 6mm balsa cross formers with ply corner and centre braces and the same method is employed running along the length of the fuselage between the formers to keep everything straight.

	Avro Lincoln
		The Avro Lincoln, a development of the Lancaster bomber, entered service just after the war and was originally designed for operations in the Far East against Japan.
		The Lincoln was the last piston-engined bomber to see active service in the RAF and, although it had a very long range, it was slow (290 mph) and had a low operational ceiling (22,000 ft).
		To ensure the proximity of the Lincoln to the border of the Russian Zone did not provoke further attacks, the Lincoln was turned from a northerly onto a westerly heading and eventually returned safely to Leconfield.

		In the early months of the war it was used by the RAF Bomber Command on pamphlet-dropping sorties and in night-bombing.
		The four-engined Avro "Lancaster", a direct development of the unsuccessful twin-engined Manchester became the 'mighty pulverizer' of the RAF's Bomber Command, able to carry the great 22,000-pound "Ten-Ton Tessie", also known as the "Grand Slam", the heaviest bomb-load lifted by any bomber of World War II.
		The 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.

		With the war turning in the allies favour in Europe, the RAF turned its attention to entering the Pacific War and intended to create a dedicated "Tiger Force" consisting of the new Avro Lincoln Bomber, with its improved range and performance allowing the RAF to match the USAF's deployment of their new B-29 Bomber.

		The aircraft produced at Chadderton in recent years, the Avro 748 and ATP Advanced Turboprop airliners and components for the BAe 146 and RJ Regional Jet Avroliner, may not be as familiar as their predecessors, but are no less significant in the world's air transport industry.
		The Avro Anson was-already in production and serving with the RAF and a number of other countries after pre-war deliveries was soon alongside the Blenheim, but the Company was pinning its hopes on the new Avro Manchester bomber.
		This aircraft, the Avro Lincoln, had all the qualities of the Lancaster and more but as production was being planned the Atomic bombs on Japan effectIvely brought the Second World War to an end resulting in orders for the new bomber to be drastically reduced.

	AVSIM Online - Flight Simulation's Number 1 Site!
		The Avro Shackleton was born out of the need for a long-range reconnaissance aircraft for the British Royal Air Force, to replace the lend-lease Consolidated Liberators used during WW2, which were the only aircraft they had with the range and the space on board capable of doing the job.
		As head designer at A.V.Roe (later to become Avro, and still later to be absorbed into the British Aircraft Corporation), he decided to utilize as much existing technology as he could, as the need for the new aircraft was urgent.
		The Shackleton, or Avro Type 696 as it was first known, was basically the Avro Lincoln wings and undercarriage mated to a new, wider fuselage, to provide enough room for the up to 13 crew members needed to operate all the equipment, and re-engined with RR Griffons driving enormous 13 feet diameter contra-rotating 3-blade propellers.

		As RAF Bomber Command took the war to the enemy under Air Marshal Arthur Harris, the four-engined Avro Lancaster reigned supreme, replacing the rugged, reliable Wellington in laying waste to German cities by night.
		And when fearless Guy Gibson led 617 squadron to fame on the low-level Dambuster raid - one of the war's most daring operations - the Lancaster was confirmed as an aviation legend.
		With recent colour film of 'City of Lincoln', the RAF's last airworthy Lancaster, among wartime footage, this is the Lancaster's dramatic story.
