Frustrating, 😡
A fine contender to increase the worlds population of Wellingtons with another veteran.
Who does he think he is kidding?

Warwick/Wellington?
No, it is definitely a Wellington. The dome atop the fuselage is an astrodome which sat at the trailing edge of the wing. The Warwick turret sat midway between the trailing edge and the tailplane. There is a very clear photo of a Mk Ic on page 49 of ‘Wellington: The Geodetic Giant’ by Martin Bowman showing the astrodome quite clearly. So, go on then, where is this one lying? It looks in remarkable condition – any possibility of recovering it? A quick covering with fabric and dope and a lick of paint and…… (sorry, dreaming again, but wouldn’t it be luvly to see a Wimpey in the air?). :diablo:
