In reply top More info on L7300 posted by Richard Woods on Tue Jan 21, 2003 01:24:53 PM

in Avro Manchester, Legend behind the Lancaster by Robert Kirby.

There is a photograph (there are more I have seen them in other Lanc books) showing L7300 nose down in the lake, but it looks like it was recovered soon afterwards judging from the barge and recovery material next to it.

The very last Manchester was "assumed" scrapped in June 1956 after recovery from a gravel pit, there are some photographs of the recovery as well in this excellent book.
Could this be the one?

I thought there was another candidate.
