Hi guys, Does anyone on here have any photos of Wellington Torpedo Bombers? i have done the usual searches but am asking if a pal has a private collection of photos they could go through. My the main ones i am after are 38 Squadron and 221 Squadron. Many thanks, Donnie.
Donnie, Although the wellington is mentions several times in my Coastal Command in Action book, I can only find one photograph which shows a 221 Sqd Wellington from St Eval. The picture was taken from a Hudson of 233 Sqd as both planes circled the crew of a shot down Focke-Wulf Kondor. Photo taken at 08.30 hours 23 July 1941. Ref: AIR 27/1438 Regards Tom
