Yes. All the Geodetic structure aircraft were fabric covered, they couldn’t be anything else (see my notes, and others, above). So the Wellesley, Wellington, Warwick and Windsor were all fabric covered.

The Vickers range of aircraft is not something I have really looked at in detail and when I saw the Brooklands Wellington it was just a framework so it didn’t occur to me but thanks for telling me that. I often wondered why the skin on the Wellington photograph on divetheworld.com had lost it’s skin so completely so that answers it. I did dive the wreck of a Wellington but the visibility was so bad I couldn’t see the whole picture.
