Overdue by Gerald Coulson

Aircraft – Wellington

“The Vickers- Armstrong Wellington entered service in the RAF in 1938 as a medium bomber. As the mainstay of the Bomber Command, it bore the initial brunt of the RAF’s night offensive during 1940. Without the benefit of sophisticated navigation aids, the bomber crews had difficulty locating and hitting targets and also contending with rapidly-improving German defences.

This picture depicts an incident at sunrise on the morning of 26 July 1940. A Wellington 1c of 99 Squadron based at Newmarket Heath, returns from a raid over Dortmund. An engine fails over the North Sea and the aircraft, captained by Squadron Leader Sarll, struggled almost to its home base and crashed just south of Cambridge.
The crew survived” Gerald Coulson
