Wellington bomber info

I have the “Pilots Notes For Wellington lll, x, xl, xll, xlll & xlv Two Hercules xl, vl, xvl, or xvll Engines. Everything you need to know about how to fly a Wellington bomber with illustrations. Dad flew Wellingtons.

Andyaye,was looking through two manuals yesterday ,one Wellington and one of the bigger but very similar `Warwick`…both copied from the Archive held at RAFM Hendon,very informative!!.It`s good to hear the Wellington Museum hasn`t closed,although ,`I`ve been told`, he got rid of some parts.. Wellington Tail and some FN20 stuff?.

Many thanks – That’s good to hear.

Wellington museum

The Wellington aviation museum is still very much open, however its always worth giving them a call particularly during the winter months before you visit.

The new Haynes Manual on the Wimpey should be a good start:

What a shame if it has. It was a little gem.

A set of repro pilots notes for less than sick squid are in plentiful supply on a certain auction site,that`d be a good start.Failing that,I have a Wellington chap coming down this weekend for a bit of trading,I`ll see what manuals he brings with him….I thought the Wellington Museum had closed too.

I could be very wrong, but I was under the impression that the Wellington Museum had closed, despite the website still being up. Can anyone confirm?

Here might be a good start.

Worth a visit anyway, as is R-Robert at Brooklands (particularly if any of the old guys who work on her are around)
