I think that bomber is Armstrong Whitworth Whitley of RAF and I dont know what squadron nor those people, but I pretty sure that is Whitley Bomber.

Well, I think you are correct that is probably Vickers Wellington MK. III(Dunno if that right) and you have probably comfirm that is Vickers Wellington bomber.

Post by: frank3 on May 28, 2004, 02:27:47 PM: I found out it was a Vickers Wellington.
The aircraft is coded 'H' and named Snifter .

The artwork seems to be Disney-inspired, also it's known that the 75 (NZ) sqn. had Disney characters on it's Wimpys.

I hope you find this out by this new information.

Thanks in advance :)

Not neccessarily true, guns were removed between missions.
