Today marks the anniversary of the Vickers Wellington's maiden flight! The Wellington first flew in 1936, and was flown by Captain Joseph Summers. The Wellington saw action on the first raids on German territory during WWII, alongside the Bristol Blenheim. #Airfix #Aviation | Airfix

What's inside a Wellington? Our Second World War Vickers Wellington bomber has been restored to its former glory after more than a decade of conservation at the Royal Air Force Museum Midlands. The recent addition of lights means you can look inside! The Wellington was widely used as a night bomber in the early years of the Second World War, and famous for its geodetic fuselage structure designed by Barnes Wallis. It is one of only two remaining! #vickerswellington #secondworldwar #bomber #museu

As we mark 35 years since our Wellington Bomber was raised from Loch Ness we’ve found a great clip from the Pathé archive of a Wellington Bomber in flight. This footage is from 1942 and features Vickers Wellington Mk.III AA-J X3482 of 75 Squadron. | Brooklands Museum
