Roger H. Middlebrook - Wellington Winter - Vickers Wellington
Vickers Wellington Christmas Card by Aviation Artist Roger H. Middlebrook GAvA
As the stalwart of Bomber Command for the early part of the war, Vickers’ Wellington will always be fondly remembered for its ruggedness and reliability. Its ability to keep going in various states of damage and still get home made it loved by the crews, who nicknamed the aircraft ‘Wimpy’ after the hamburger chomping ‘Popeye’ character, J. Wellington Wimpy.
