  • Not to my knowledge. My friend Group Captain Doug Iveson said it was a very docile and would not go any faster no matter what you did. He should know as he flew it on numerous operations before converting onto the Halifax.

  • @ianlanc I know that it is three years later, but how did the model go? I hope it went well.

  • @InfiniteMushroom We have so much from which to choose old thing.

  • @UUPIMAN Awesome :)

    Wasn't he on that BBC Battle of Britain documentary?

  • A Whitley of 102 Sqdn (Dalton) crashed at Pogmoor, Barnsley in 1941/2. Small bits of wreckage including a burnt map, prop blade and bomb release clip have been handed to Barnsley Museum and the report is with Barnsley Library (Archives).

  • I agree, not a single Whitley was saved which was criminal as it was a fantastic machine.

  • The Brits seem to have this bad habit of not preserving the fruits of their labors or their history.

  • These Planes Were called the Flying coffins

  • my dad joined the raf in 1938 his first posting was RAF Kinloss, The whitleys arrived the same year 14fts training wing i . my dad told me that loads of these planes crashed during takeof into findhorn bay.

  • did they call this 1 the flying coffin?
