Wellington question

Don,
I got your email but it bounced back as not sent. Can you send me a pm here please and i will give you my email adress to send the files to.

Thank you both.

Thats a start thank you. Its a bit of a shame the scans not so clear though.

Sorry about the scan, I had to print it off the full pages and folded the paper so I could then scan it at 2.13 MB so it could be used on Key. I had intended giving a more detailed description of the position of the fuel caps in my post but will provide the answer now.
The two fuel caps are placed just inboard of the join between the double spar and the single outboard spar which is where the outboard end of the flap is situated. Both wings are the same. The starboard nacelle contains a 58 gallon fuel tank which I think is refueled after removing a panel on the top. Until I looked at the cutaway I didn’t
know it existed! The port nacelle contains the cabin heating header tank.

The Moggy and Andy pictures show the general area.

Ollie:

Attached is a picture of a Wellington being refuelled. I have a couple of other pictures/cut-aways, but am having difficulty posting them can you give me your “normal” email address so I can send them as an Attachment.

Another little bit of evidence.

Perhaps the artist wasn’t sure either?

Thats a start thank you. Its a bit of a shame the scans not so clear though.

Is this OK?

Does anyone know where the refuelling points on a Wellington are? Also does anyone have any drawings or photos of the area? Im hoping to help out a modelling contact whos building a refuelling diorama.
