Narrative:
While being vectored for a visual approach to runway 24, traffic departing mht was called out as 12 O'clock, 1 mi, same altitude, also under control by mht departure control. Aircraft appeared from haze and overcast on collision course when 500-1000' away. Strong evasive maneuvers by both aircraft avoided collision. Had WX been solid IMC this would have been a midair. ATC should have provided vectoring to maintain separation. Again, both aircraft were under positive control by mht departure.

Title: SMA MAKING A VISUAL APCH HAD A CONFLICTION WITH A DEP ACFT.
Narrative: WHILE BEING VECTORED FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 24, TFC DEPARTING MHT WAS CALLED OUT AS 12 O'CLOCK, 1 MI, SAME ALT, ALSO UNDER CTL BY MHT DEP CTL. ACFT APPEARED FROM HAZE AND OVERCAST ON COLLISION COURSE WHEN 500-1000' AWAY. STRONG EVASIVE MANEUVERS BY BOTH ACFT AVOIDED COLLISION. HAD WX BEEN SOLID IMC THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A MIDAIR. ATC SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED VECTORING TO MAINTAIN SEPARATION. AGAIN, BOTH ACFT WERE UNDER POSITIVE CTL BY MHT DEP.
