About the best I can do for you Cees as Manchester interior shots are not common. Maybe the Avro Heritage folks could help?

Cheers chaps,

I have that book as well, even have met Mr Kirby in person. Nice chap. Not too many interior details in there though.
In it is a full acoount of the crash of L7518, the remains of which we recovered during 2000.

You beat me to it, Andrew: mentioning Rob Kirby’s Manchester book.

Cees, if the book is not helpful enough, you might wish to contact him directly; I have his current e-mail address. Write me a PM if you need it.

I have the first edition of the book, should you need photos and can’t get your hands on a copy of the book.

Cheers,

Matt

Being a scale plastic aircraft modeller too I am currently bashing an AVRO Lancaster into the Manchester. Due to the scale (1/32) I need some information
about the flight engineers panel, starboard side details. Apart from that, was the electrical panel identical to the Lancasters?
Thanks in advance.

Probably your best bet is to look in Rob Kirby’s Avro Manchester, The Legend Behind the Lancaster. I would think there might bes one useful photos in there…..
