Paul,

It certainly should be added to your collection if only because there isn't much else about the Manchester. Very interesting stuff to read, including a full report by one of the two survivors of Manchester L7518 which we recovered in december 1999. It has also some photographs of the recovery during the fifties of the very last Manchester from the gravel pit it was dumped in. It was scrapped afterwards.

As I said each aircraft history is very basic but very useful. The previous units an aircraft served with are mentioned as well as the number of missions flown. About the same style as used in the book about the Lancaster by Francis K. Mason. I have found it very useful reference material.

Hope this helps

Cees
