Manchester bits 'n' pieces ?

Talking of Vultures,

Any word on Manchester bits anywhere ?
What about the example in the North Sea Cees, any good ?

Seeing as the Stirling, Whitley and Albemarle are going to be resurrected in some form, and the Halifax ,Hampden and Wellington are doing better now than 20-30 years ago, perhaps it is time to have a look for Manchester bits.

To my mind the Manchester is very important to aviation history, and especially WWII history, as without the fortunate mistakes that were made with it ,we may not have had the ever so incredibly important Lancaster to help win the war for us.

Pity the silly buggers scrapped that Manchester from out of the lake back in the fifties....why didn't they just leave it there and forget about it....for me ,Tony, Cees and Paul to "discover"???

.....we really never appreciate what we have until it is gone.....

.....somehow I don't think we will ever learn that lesson either.....

Cheers
Mick
