Manchester of No. 207 Squadron RAF September 1941

A crew of seven normally operated bomber, comprised of a pilot, flight engineer, navigator, radio operator, bomb aimer/nose gunner, and
two dedicated gunners.

In September 1941, a striking photograph was taken of a Manchester I from No 207 Squadron, as it powered up its starboard Vulture engine at Waddington. The image captured the aircraft in remarkable detail, showcasing the intricacies of its machinery.
