- In 1936, the Royal Air Force created specifications for a new bomber that looked into the future. Based on this, Avro proposed an aircraft called [Type 679].

- This aircraft is a twin-engine bomber equipped with Rolls-Royce's new 24-cylinder X-type Vulture engine. It was named the Manchester and was rolled out in 1940, and deployment of troops began.

- The Manchester was used for a year and a half, but its engine and propeller were in poor condition and it was not able to operate as expected.

- Therefore, a development plan for the [Manchester III] was hatched that involved replacing the engine with a Rolls-Royce Merlin

- This machine became the prototype of the masterpiece Lancaster.
