THE VICKERS WELLINGTON

 

The Vickers Wellington

Was a British twin-engine

Long range medium bomber

Known as “the Wimpy”

Designed originally

For daylight operations

It was widely used

As a night bomber

In the early years

Of World War 2.

Before being displaced

As the bomber of choice

By the large four-engined

Heavy bombers like the Lancaster

But the Wellington

Took on a new roll

As an anti-submarine aircraft

It was the only British bomber

To remain in production

For the duration of the war

And was first-line equipment

From beginning to end
