Final Wellington flight
Although some sources quote MF628 (The RAF Museum's MkX aircraft) as making the final Wellington flight, on the 24th January 1955, I wonder, from a global perspective if that flight was indeed the last one.
Whilst perusing some old Air Britain Journals at the Brooklands Museum, I came across a couple of photographs of airworthy-looking French Air Force radio and navigation trainer Wellingtons, supposedly taken in Marrakech during 1955. They were LN374 and NC922. Is it possible they were still airworthy/flying at the time MF628 made the "final" Wellington flight??
Also, what about Wellington operated by the South African Air Force; were any of those still airworthy at that time?
Would be interested in any comments from our overseas experts....
