Finn Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Went here: http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=1359209&S=1 jumped to pg 76 which lists torpedo missions, just gives a/c numbers. Jari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishKiwi Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Here is another link relating to two squadrons - numbers 38 and 221 and their operations in the MTO. Has anyone built a 1/72 or other scale modelsof the wellington version? http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-WH2-2Epi-c5-WH2-2Epi-e.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancunian airman Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I haven't built the Torpedo version but I did open up the old Airfix Wellington's bomb bay which you dont see very often, just thought it might encourage you to rip out those bomb doors and have a go . .. I am looking forward to see your build of this usually version of the 'Wimpey' Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potato Pete Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 No 24 is interesting, shows the modified lower fuselage profile very nicely. Does anyone know if this was a local modification? Rather like pic 25 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 The end of the bomb bay doors (and cell sides?) had to be cut away because the Monoplane Air Tail was too wide to fit into the standard cells. So it must have been intrinsic to carrying torpedoes rather than anything local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
