W.W.II. Wellington Bomber Model. c.1940
SOLD
Interesting chrome plated model of a RAF Vickers Wellington bomber fashioned from a solid piece of brass. Dating from around 1940.
Models such as this were supposedly made by air force ground crew in their spare time, using surplus or scrap aircraft materials. This model is mounted on a metal base. Overall width (from wingtip to wingtip) : 180mm. Good condition (some wear and tear).
The Wellington bomber was designed by Barnes Wallace (better known for his bouncing bomb) and was built by the Vickers aircraft factory based on the site of the old Brooklands motor racing circuit in Surrey, England. These aircraft were the main RAF bombers for the first two years of W.W.II.
