The Vickers Wellington was a Bomber aircraft and also used for maritime reconnaissance. and had a normal crew of six except in the MKV and VI where a crew of three was used. Maximum speed was 235 mph (MK1c) 255 mph (MK III, X) and 299 mph (MK IIII), normal operating range of 1805 miles  (except MK III which was 1470miles)  The Wellington or Wimpy as it was known, was the major bomber of the Royal Air Force between 1939 and 1943. The Royal Air Force received its first Wellingtons in October 1938 to 99 squadron. and by the  outbreak of World war two  there were 6squadrons equipped with the Vickers Wellington.  Due to heavy loosed on daylight raids, the Wellington became a night bomber and from 1940 was also used as a long range bomber in North Africa.  and in 1942 also became a long range bomber for the royal Air Force in India. It was well used by Coastal Command as a U-Boat Hunter. The Wellington remained in service with the Royal Air Force until 1953.  Probably due to its versatile use, The aircraft was also used for experimental work including the fitting of a pressure cabin for High altitude tests.  The Vickers Wellington could sustain major damage and still fly, probably due to its construction of its geodesic structure and practical application of geodesic lines.  Designed by Sir Barnes Wallis
