Sent a letter to MAM regarding Lancaster NF920 some time back (which was an A.W built Lanc) and never got a reply to the letter.

Rich – Which Lancaster is NF920? I didn’t know there were any AWA-built examples left.

Some people elsewhere though, have answered, so I’ve now got my hands full.

Shame she’s gone to Australia then really…

Yes!
I know the Lincoln is an Avro design but, in terms of types designed/built by a British aircraft manufacturer that survive in preservation, those of Sir W.G.Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Ltd (AWA) are the most poorly represented. The Argosy freighter is the only original AWA design extant (excepting the possibility of underwater Whitleys).
There are a few AWA-built types surviving, the oldest (I think) Hart K4972 at Hendon plus Lincoln RF398 at Cosford and Meteors, Seahawks, Hunters and Javelins.
A Lincoln at MAM could also partially represent the massive effort in churning out Lancasters at Baginton during WW2.

How much of the Lincoln still exists? I asked on another thread and was told it had all but gone…??
