Wellington

225 Tumblingsloth  8.6 years ago

The Vickers Wellington was a British twin-engined, long range medium bomber designed in the mid-1930s at Brooklands in Weybridge, Surrey, by Vickers-Armstrongs' Chief Designer, Rex Pierson[2] in response to specification B.9/32. Issued in the middle of 1932, this called for a twin-engined day bomber of higher performance than any previous design. It was widely used as a night bomber in the early years of the Second World War, before being superseded as a bomber by the larger four-engined "heavies" such as the Avro Lancaster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_Wellington). I tried my hardest on making this plane and I hope you like it. Please upvote it if you like it. It took me a long time to make this plane (around 3 hours!). Thankyou for your help!! :) {Ps. the turrets are supposed to look like that}
