Vickers Wellington
Hello everybody!
I’ve received a question on a force-landed Wellington with serial number T2349 (the second number could be 8 and the fourth could also be 8 ). The aircraft seems to have made an emergency wheels up landing in the desert and it is painted in standard night bombing camouflage. No tactical markings are visible. Is there anyone with good knowledge on the serial numbers on the Wellington that could help me? Best wishes/Håkan Gustavsson

Desert Wellington
Hi ,
T2349 was a Blenheim. T2849 was a Wellington of 38 Squadron missing on a minelaying opp off Tobruk 16-7-1941. While T2843 crash landed 2m N of LG X on the 30-7-1942 following an engine failure. Details from Air Britain T1000-V9999 Wonder what happened to 49's crew ? Alex |

Vanishing posts...
Hi,
I posted a response which has now vanished... no big deal but I am curious as to why this happens - it is not the first time this has happened either. :? There was nothing offensive in it, just identification of the aircraft mentioned from the serial... Strange... Tony

WISH I KNEW ???
Hi,
WISH I KNEW , I have only received your notice to say that you posted a reply. When I ticked the little box that says sign me in every time automaticaly, each time I come on to the site I still have to sign in each time. Also when I click on to a subject MOST TIMES ALL that I get is the message at bottom left hand corner of my screen "DONE" and all that is before me is a clear white page. I have to click on the subject in question several times before any message comes on screen. Oh for the old website....... Alex |

If posts are disappearing I'd like to know, since there are some tools which may help me find the cause. There are some possibilties. It might have been caused by testing and somehow getting the test and main enviorment mixed (low probability). Also it could have been a moderation mistake. Less welcome would be a genuine system bug, or worse an attack. Please keep me posted on the feedback section.

Re: Vickers Wellington
Hi All
I'm webmaster for a site dedicated to 26 squadron SAAF that was equipped with Wellingtons and based at Takoradi on the Gold Coast (now Ghana) of West Africa during WWII. If anyone can assist with information about the specific aircraft of this squadron or any other related information, photo's etc I would really appreciate it. The 26 Sqn site is at http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/bd000006/ Thanks |
