The Wellington "Wimpey" was the main RAF bomber until the four-engine models came into production. Introduced in 1938, the aircraft was a significant step forward for the British in its day. Wellingtons contributed to the first 1000-plane raid (on Cologne)  and saw service in India. They proved versatile, being adapted to a number of roles, including magnetic minesweeping using a 48' coil and antisubmarine patrol using Leigh lights and airborne radar.

The design used the geodetic construction of Barnes Wallis and the prototype flew on 15 June 1936. Production began in December 1937.
