Wouldn't like to try it in a Manchester..... the aircraft could barely keep level flight on one engine with no bomb load. One lucky pilot managed to get a Manchester back from Germany on one engine after jettisoning everything that was portable (including the guns). He was awarded an immediate DSO!
