Vickers 271

03/19/2005. Remarks by Nico Braas: "Making its first flight on June 15, 1936, the B.9/32 was the direct forerunner of the famous Wellington bomber. Unfortunately it crashed in April 1937. Carrying the RAF s/n K4049, we see the on the picture the B.9/32 bomber on June 30, 1936 during a display day at Brooklands. The nose and tail gun positions are still covered with fabric. Note the fixed tail wheel with a streamline fairing!"
