The Wellington was designed by  Barnes 'bouncing bomb' Wallis.  It had quite an ingenious lattice style design... not bad for an very early war bomber.

Interesting, that's the first Wellington I can recall seeing with inline engines instead of radials.

That would probably be a B.Mk II, fitted with RR Merlin X engines, 400 built.

The only other Merlin Wellingtons were the high altitude, pressurised Mk V(2 p-types) and B.Mk VI(63 built), and the cancelled Mk VII(1 p-type).

All the other marques had radials afaik.
