cherisy Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Hot on the heels of my bomb colour question: I have a 1/72 Trumpeter Wimpy I am doing as a Mid 1940 "battle of the barges" version. Looking at some period photos it appears the standard bomb load was 250/500 Lb GP. Ive seen another thread on here regards Halifax bomb load outs so can anyone help?. Ive seen the ORB for 101 sqn in late 41 as regards loads but would the same loads have been carried for channel port raids in 1940? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Not the time frame you are interested in but these sites of Wellington squadrons give a variety of loads: click on any of the 1943 months: http://www.429sqn.ca/429ops.htm No. 37 Squadron Italy 1944: http://natureonline.com/37/contents.html 420 Squadron: http://www.aquatax.ca/Wellingtons.html Jari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
