Wellington R5445

Hello friends,

In the ORB of 9 Sqdn.RAF a Wellington R5445 is mentioned but according to the wellknown Air Britain series, this serial number falls in a block reserved for Avro Manchesters which was cancelled.

I am interested to know whether this R5445 was just one Wellington (suggested by the fact that I haven't found any losses in the R54xx range), modified to carry a 4000 lb HC Cookie? Or was there a small production batch?

Any help is much appreciated, best regards,

Marcel
