In fact no Vickers Wellingtons

the RAF, flew this aircraft in the European theatre from 1941-44.
This was the same for the Halifax.

February 22, 2004 - Added
comments of Peter Hosford (Canada) FX 113526, HMS Implacable,
1771 Squadron to the Fairey
Firefly page. Peter wrote: I wonder how many people know
that during operations against Japan we changed our 'Markings'
to resemble 'London' transport markings, ie a bar across the roundel.
Reason:- our roundel was confused with the Japanese roundel, and
was a problem with our allies, whose Carriers, due to their wooden
flight decks were very prone to suicide attacks.
Note:- all hands, officers etc., were up all night changing the
markings. A wonderful, tight knit squadron.
When we were on the move to a land base, being a LAM (E) I was
fortunate to be a member of the 'advance' party. and flew with
the Squadron. Consequently as we were approaching Australia it
was decided to test their Air defenses. My pilot - Garth - seemed
to get lost and, if my memerory saves me correctly, we landed
in a wonderful place named 'Jervis Bay' .

January 8, 2004
- British Aircraft of Word War II has a new adress. I moved
to lycos because of the speedlinq problems. Now there is enough
bandwith, the site will not be blocked anymore. New URL is www.jaapteeuwen.com/ww2aircraft.
Shortly I will add an augmented picture index.
By the way: I waited more than two months for the solution speedlinq
prommised, but never heart from them again and never got any reply
on my emails. Terrible service...
November 29, 2003
- Again, problems with provider Speedlinq: too much data traffic,
they said, and blocked the site. After a month of waiting for
the solution speedlinq promissed, nothing happened. I will switch
to another provider shortly. In the meantime I temporarily deleted
the picture index, which took the lot of the data traffic, to
enable access to the site. Photographs can still be seen on each
individual aircraft page. Due to the blocked site, this side has
been deleted from some webrings. I will fix that shortly.
July 27, 2003
- After been cut off for a while by my provider for creating too
much data traffic (the pleasure is all mine), added a ink to War
Birds Resource Group
