The Avro Lincoln in Australia

The Avro Lincoln was a development of the Avro Lancaster bomber. Designed in response to an Air Ministry specification calling for a long range bomber for the Pacific, the Lincoln would differ from the Lancaster by having an extended rear fuselage, increased wingspan and the new Merlin 85 engines installed. Originally designated the Lancaster Mk.IV, such where the changes it was determined it would receive its own designation. During 1943, it was decided that the Lancaster would be the next bomber to be produced in Australia. This was later changed to the Lincoln, and it would be produced by the Government Aircraft Factories (GAF). Australian Lincolns would receive the designation Mk.30, Mk.30A, GR.Mk.31 and MR.Mk.31. Entering service with the RAAF in 1948, it would be utilized by the RAAF in the Malayan Emergancy as well as in the atomic testing in Australia during 1952/53. The Long Nose Lincoln (GR.Mk.31, MR.Mk.31) was anti-shipping, anti-submarine, maritime reconnaissance version only produced in Australia. Ending service in the early 1960s, all GAF Lincolns were scrapped or disposed of. The GAF Lincoln stands as the largest aircraft ever produced by Australia.
