The Vickers Wellington was a British twin-engine medium bomber designed in the 1930s by Rex Pierson and Barnes Wallis. It first flew on 15 June 1936 and entered RAF service in 1938. The Wellington was renowned for its geodetic airframe construction — a lattice-like framework that gave the aircraft great strength and resilience, often returning safely with heavy battle damage.

Initially intended as a day bomber, it served mainly at night once heavier fighters became prevalent. The Wellington was one of the few RAF bombers in continuous frontline service from the start of World War II until mid-1943. It flew in the first RAF bombing raid on Germany and participated in nearly every major bombing campaign in Europe, North Africa, and the Mediterranean.

More than 11,400 Wellingtons were built across multiple variants, including versions for maritime patrol (with Coastal Command), training, and transport. It was also used extensively in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.

The Wellington was retired from frontline service in 1945, though training variants remained in use into the 1950s. It was one of the most important and widely used RAF bombers of the early war years.
