How long will it take for somone to work out what this is. I’ll bet it’ll only take a few minutes….I’ve removed the serial number to make it a little more tricky.

Almost the same photo, definitely taken at the same time, is on page 200 of “The British Bomber since 1914”. The production model had spats, among other changes.

You got it Peter. Looks very different from the familiar Vilde, doesn’t it?

It’s the prototype of one of the most versatile bombers of the early Second World War. The colour scheme, powerplant and wheels make it look very different from the production version.
And though this photo doesn’t really look it, its big.
Enough clues?
