Avro 533 Manchester from the Front

Here we see the second prototype of the Avro 533 Manchester twin engined bomber, powered by the original ABC Dragonfly engines the type was designed to use. The first prototype had to be built with different engines because of a shortage of Dragonflys and the type didn't make its maiden flight until December 1918. Only three prototypes were built, the third without engines.
