I finally had some time free to get my personal Wellington Mk1a 'N for Nuts' airborne,took off from Ford Aerodrome,and after climbing up to about 10,300 feet flew straight and level for a few minutes before engaging the Wellington's autopilot.
Set the sight speed and sight altitude before jumping into the bomb aimer's position and setting a course for France where I practised some high altitude bombing at about 16,000 feet over Calias-Marck Airfield.
I can report aircraft handling well,bomb aimer's position functioning superbly.....which is more than I can say for the pilot who needs a few days at operational training school !
Great to have the Wellington back fellas.....what a beauty she is !
