Avro Lincoln

The Avro 694 Lincoln was a seven seat long range bomber used by the RAF and other users after World War Two.
==History==
The Lincoln began as a progressive development of the Avro Lancaster, intended to meet the requirements of specification B.14/43, which called for a bomber designed for service in the Far East,Air Ministry specifications issued from 1940 to 1949 resulting in the Lancaster IV and Lancaster V, both of which featured higher aspect ratio wings, lengthened fuselages and Merlin 85 engines. These changes led to the redesignation, before the 9 June 1944 first flight of prototype PW925, of both aircraft, with the Lancaster IV and Lancaster V respectively becoming the Lincoln I and Lincoln II.
