Aviation Specials  |  Wellington
Until the advent of the ‘heavies’ - the Stirling, Halifax and Lancaster - the Wellington bore the brunt of Bomber Command’s onslaught on occupied Europe. Built using the revolutionary geodetic construction developed by Barnes Wallis, the Wellington developed a reputation for being able to take a lot of punishment and still bring crews home.
Wellingtons served widely, becoming workhorses for the Operational Training Units, sub-hunters for Coastal Command, transports and test-beds and were even used as low-flying minesweepers! Postwar the Wellington served on overseas and as a crew-trainer for the RAF, finally retiring in the mid-1950s.
Enthusiasts the world over have a great respect for the Wellington ‑ this 100-page special magazine from the team behind FlyPast magazine provides a much sought-after tribute to an incredible warplane.

Barnes Wallis and the birth of the Wellington
