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
