Unknown bomber-unknown war
 

Hi all,
Found this photo at a flea market and my arabic is not that good... perhaps a Forum member can translate...? And what kind of Bomber do we have here?
I guess it's a post-2WW photo, 1948 Arab-Israeli War?

Thanks for your input!

Perhaps more "readable" this way...

Too small image but look like Wellington.

Re: Unknown bomber-unknown war
 

Definitely Wellington, the bombs are early war British, the scenery looks fairly English too, what can be seen of it.

Thanks for your replies! Now, why an arabic text and what does it mean? Probably nothing exciting, but still...

Yes, it is typical Wellington shape.

Re: Unknown bomber-unknown war
 

My guess is that it is a Wellington based in England early WWII.

Re: Unknown bomber-unknown war
 

:) Yes it is definately a Wellington possibly a Mk10.

I have an almost identical photo in the book"Halifax & Wellingtons" by Brian J Rapier & Chaz Bower which states the airfield being Mildenhall in England and the Squadron was 149 Sqdn.in WW11.

They are definately Wellingtons as the text corrobarates. The text is just a descripyive and translates as "Loading some British Wellington aircraft with bombs"

Thanks for the translation, bombhead!
