You've heard of the Lancaster but may have not heard of its predicessor...
Manchetsers were developed in the late 30s as a twin engined heavy bomber, but due to poor engine reliability the type was only used in small numbers in the first years of WW2
TO FLY: 1&2-engines VTOL& 3-Co-Pilot/Bombardiers Gun turret VTOL& 4- mid turret VTOL&5-open bomb bay 6- drops two wing mounted 500ibs bombs and 12 100ibs bombs (I've just noticed one bomb is missing a gin plz copy it from the other side)
It has enough fuel to go from old island to new and back again, it stays airborne for about half an hour real time,
WHEN LANDING: all wheels need to touch down at the same time, and u need to b traveling less than 110 mph or u plough the props into the Tarmac..
WHEN TAKING OFF: ease up at 150mph
WHEN FLYING pitch up to keep level (sry Manchester has bad design if was improved when they made it into the Lancaster it only noses down cause it's underpowered and has small wings)
TOTAL TIME SPENT: over 30hrs
TOTAL AMOUNT OF TEA DRUNK: 8L
Hope u enjoy flying this as Much as I do! :)

@BlueWhiskySP You are confusing it with its ultimate development/successor, the Lancaster.
Fun Fact: the Manchester served as the foundation for the design of the Lancaster. The unreliable Rolls-Royce Vulture engines were replaced by Rolls-Royce Merlin engines and the engine number was doubled for good measure. The only other thing to change from the Manchester was all of the flying surfaces were enlarged. The result, the Avro Lancaster, had none of the Manchester's faults.
@IceDragon416 bout to take on a handley page Halifax mk 1! Consider it as Lancaster practice! ;) I'm also gonna be making an air fix B17 so will b making one of them aswell!
@XVIindustries Cool! Can't wait!
I've been thinking about it, should be a fun build, but at the moment I'm finishing off a bleriot XI made with new stuff,and modded exet@IceDragon416
