Manchester, France

Are there any significant parts of a Machester in existence, I dont think I recall seeing any at the various museums I have been to…..

Sorry to be late to the party! I understand that at least one engine from Manchester L7485 is kept at the aviation museum at la Baule, France. Apparently it crashed into the sea off Batz-sur-Mer and the engine was caught in the trawl of a fishing boat in 1989. From the photos which I have seen, the engine is in a heavily corroded state. Whether the crash site was recorded and whether any attempt has been made to recover additional components, I do not know.
