Vickers Wellington guides rescue vessel to Condor crew
Here we see a Vickers Wellington guiding an unseen rescue vessel (HMS Arbutus), towards the crew of a Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor that had been shot down by a Hudson of Coastal Command as it was about to attack a convoy.
Wellington in Action, Ron Mackay. A well illustrated guide to the development and service career of this classic British bomber. Mackay looks at the early development of the Wellington and the unusual geodetic frame that gave it great strength, the period when the Wellington was the mainstay of Bomber Command and the many uses found for the aircraft after it was replaced in the main bomber stream.
