		Avro Manchester of 50 Squadron 106 CF flown by Leslie Manser Victoria Cross
		L7301 was the 28th Manchester to be built and was handed over to the RAF on the 21st of December 1940.
		The Manchester was refuelled and bombed up with a full load of 1260 4lb incendiaries in 14 containers at Skellingthorpe, it was here on collection of the aircraft that the lack of a mid upper turret was noted leaving Manser with a redundant wireless operator/air gunner.

	Avro Information
		Avro was a British aircraft manufacturer, well known for planes such as the Avro Lancaster which served in World War II.
		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.
		When the company was absorbed into Hawker Siddeley Aviation in July 1963 the Avro name seemed to have disappeared forever but the brand had such a strong heritage appeal that the marketing name "Avro RJ" (regional jet) was applied to the British Aerospace 146 from 1994 to 2001.

	Avro Manchester
		The Avro Manchester was one of the least successful British aircraft of the Second World War.
		As a result of these demands, the Manchester was a very strong aircraft, with a very large single celled bomb bay that took up some two thirds of the length of the fuselage.
		Tests on the new aircraft revealed some minor problems – the wings had to be extended by ten feet, from a span of 80ft 2ins to one of 90ft, and the aircraft suffered from directional instability.

		Dat de Manchester gedwongen werd om de onderontwikkelde en veel omstreden Rolls Royce Vulture X-motor-in-lijn te gebruiken in plaats van een meer betrouwbare vliegtuigmotor was te wijten aan de omstandigheden van deze periode en niet de fout van het vliegtuig of zijn ontwerpers - zoals zijn onmiddellijke opvolger de Lancaster bewees.
		Naast een minimale behoefte van een neus- en staarttoren hield Avro rekening met een andere inrichting waarbij de volledige bewapening was geconcentreerd in een toren met vier kanonnen die ofwel in de buik of boven op de rug van het vliegtuig zou worden geïnstalleerd.
		Ondanks het feit dat de manchesters uit de operaties werden teruggetrokken behield elk Sqdn voor een korte periode nog vier Manchesters in zij getalsterkte om bemanningen te treinen voordat ze op de grotere en betere Lancaster overstapten.

	Avro Manchester
		The ‘heavies’ – the Avro Manchester, Handley Page Halifax and Short Stirling – were making their operational debut, all of them with technical and production problems to be overcome.
		Despite its twin-engined lay-out, the Avro Manchester was indeed a ‘heavy’ – at the time it was the only Bomber Command aircraft capable of taking the 4,000lb ‘Cookie’ bomb.
		Manchester, the Legend behind the Lancaster puts the career of a wrongly-treated warhorse into a new perspective.

		Avro Manchester-478 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.

	RAF History - Bomber Command 60th Anniversary
		Because of the demanding specification, the Manchester was to have been an outstanding design; its enormous bomb-bay was unobstructed so that carriage of the 18ft torpedoes laid down by the Air Ministry was permissible.
		By the end of 1941, Manchesters were regular participants in operations over Germany with bombloads of up to 8,000lbs, but more often than not were restricted to attacking German naval vessels in the Channel ports with armour-piercing bombs.
		In February 1942, four Manchester squadrons were airborne over the Channel attempting to stop the Gneisenau and Scharnhorst from making good their escape from Brest in the famous 'Channel Dash', but the poor weather over the Channel prevented any aircraft from finding the convoy.

	BBC - WW2 People's War - Manchester Bomber Crash in Holmpton, East Yorkshire 14th January 1942 - Part 2
		Avro Manchester L7523 EM:M piloted by Flight Sergeant Basil Courtney Wescombe crashed on Mill Hill, Holmpton which is in the centre of this photograph near the end of the long hedge.
		The subsequent inquest held at the farm established that L7523 had jettisoned her warload out to sea, and concluded that the aircraft had probably been damaged by enemy action as there was a suggestion of battle damage on the aircraft, forcing an early return and culminating in the crash.
		Manchester bombers flew on 1269 sorties of which 64 (5.04%) were lost and 12 (0.95%) are classified as operational crashes.

		On January 9,1941 the existence of the Manchester was revealed to the full RAF and on February 24 six Manchesters were part of the attacking force raiding Brest where a Hipper class cruiser was reported.
		On June 16 the Manchesters were again grounded to modify the cooling system and again on June 30 for complete engine overhauls and testing, the results of which were a further series of modifications.
		The doubling from two to four motors meant an increase in the Manchester's maximum bomb load, from 10,350 lbs to an operational average of 12,000/14,000 lbs.

		At the front of the fuselage was added the radio operators table with seat and radio along with the navigator¹s table and associated equipment, the pantograph ruler and angle-poise reading lamp made from fine wire and stretched sprue.
		The most noticeable difference between the Manchester and Lancaster was of course the shorter wing span and the two engine nacelles.

		In the specific case, the ashes were the program that had produced the Avro Manchester, which was the result of specification P.13/36, calling for a twin-engined medium bomber; this resulted in two designs - the Handley-Page H.P.56 which eventually resulted in the Halifax, and the Avro 679, which was the Manchester.
		The first Manchester was delivered to 207 Squadron in December, 1940, and made its operational debut with a raid on Brest the night of February 24-25, 1941.
		Failure of the Manchester was due to the inability of Rolls-Royce to cure the teething problems of the Vulture engine, which proved completely unreliable in service.

	106 Squadron, Avro Manchester
		The first operational WWII sortie, on the night of 9/10th September 1940 was mine laying in the Bordeaux area and the first bombing sortie was on the night of 1st/2nd March 1941 against Cologne.
		Although they used both Lancasters and Manchesters on all three 1,000 bomber raids (Cologne 30th/31st May 1942, Essen 1st/2nd June 1942, and Bremen 25/26th June 1942) - the third one against Bremen was the last one when the Manchesters were used.
		In October 1942, 106 contributed 10 Lancasters to 5 Group's epic low level daylight raid against the Schneider Works at Le Creusot, and 2 Lancasters (one of which was piloted by Wing Commander Guy Gibson CO of 106) to the subsidiary raid on the transformer and switching station at Montchanin.

	AVRO
		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.
		A Manchester airframe was modified in record time and with the four Merlin engines fitted the aircraft, now known as the Lancaster, made its maiden flight from Ringway on January 9 1941 and with flight trials being a complete success the Lancaster was ordered into mass production at Chadderton and the rest is history.

	Lancaster Bomber
		The Lancaster was deigned by Avro's chief designer Roy Chadwick.
		Chadwick's fears were justified when the Manchester went into squadron service in November 1940 at RAF Waddington fitted with Vulture engines which were prone to mechanical problems and fires.
		Apart from the engine changes, the Manchester design was so good it did not take much work to come up with the new machine renamed as the Lancaster.
