Vickers Wellington !C

The first of the Vickers Wellington 1C, this one was attached to RAF 150 Squadron at RAF Newton, then in 1942 moved to Blida in Algeria bombing targets in Tunisia and Sardinia.

This is not my paint by the way its the Alphasim freeware model.

Thanks Larry & David.

 

I say "Jolly good old boy."

 

My dad was in the RAF during WW2, he didn't fly he was in radio communications or something like that, he never talked much about it.

Typical British design, and the geodotical construction made this bird a strong one. thanks for pics and the links again! :cool::cool::cool: If you look at the Vickers Viking, you can clearly see the shape of the Wellington in it. Edited December 9, 2019 by peer01
