Designed and built by Avro for the Royal Air Force, the Avro Lancaster is a British four-engine and became the main heavy bomber in Second World War used by R.A.F. The Lancaster was designed by Roy Chadwick and was powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlins, or, in one version, Bristol Hercules engines. The origins of the Lancaster stem from a new generation of twin-engined medium bomber design submitted to meet Specification P.13/36, and the engine specified as the Rolls-Royce Vulture as the result of aircraft was the Manchester, and only 200 Manchester were built and they were withdrawn from service in 1942. Roy Chadwick was working on improved Manchester design by using four more reliable Rolls-Royce Merlin engines on a larger wing. The aircraft was initially designated Avro Type 683 Manchester III and later renamed the Lancaster.
