The Vickers Wellington (nicknamed the Wimpy) is a British twin-engined, long-range medium bomber.It was designed during the mid-1930s at Brooklands in Weybridge, Surrey.Led by Vickers-Armstrongs' chief designer Rex Pierson, a key feature of the aircraft is its geodetic airframe fuselage structure, which was principally designed by Barnes Wallis.
