There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Lancaster was built by Avro. Avro also built the Manchester a twin engined plane using 2 24 cylinder liquid cooled engines. The Manchester was a failure and Avro had invested a great bit into the design decided to make it a 4 engined plane using the Rolls Royce Merlin. The Lancaster has a larger wingspan and overall length as compared to the Manchester. The larger wing span improved overall lift and ceiling, and the length helped in handling and bomb load. The Lancaster was a great plane that found its beginnings in a failure.
