The Wellington that made its maiden flight in 1936 was the most successful twin-engined RAF bomber in World War II. In the initial phase of the war, it bore the main burden of night attacks, but due to mounting losses, it was then superseded by the more powerful 4 engined bombers from October 1943. The main production model made for RAF Bomber Command was the Mk X version, of which 3,804 examples were built. This version was also used in South East Asia until 1944. The Wellington GR.
