Re: Which stories behind these photos?
I have looked at the enlarged version and I do not think this Wellington has ASV especially as aircraft that carried the early 1.5 metre wavelength ASV had four mast aerials on the top of the rear fuselage. There is no trace of these.
It is in typical Bomber Command colours of 1941 and although Mk 1C were converted to GR Mk VIII equipped with ASV in the Middle East I think this is a standard bomber version.
I think the photo has been taken in the desert of a Wellington abandoned on an airstrip that's been captured by the Axis and that the bits hanging down are damage.
