Since bombs were dropped by hand . . .. . . a succession of Avro aircraft have been standard equipment in the R.A.F.- the 504 of World War 1, the Tutor trainer, Ansons of Coastal and Flying Training Command, and later, the Lancasters and Lincolns of Bomber Command fame.Now, in this same tradition, the Avro Shackleton will provide Coastal Command with a reconnaissance aircraft which sets an entirely new standard for aircraft of this type.
