Wellington File ? Air Britain

[PeteS]

On my shelves I have the Lancaster File, Halifax File, Stirling File, Hampden File and I think also the Whitley File but no WELLINGTON File ?? Is there a Wellington File ?

I tried googling it but didn.t have much luck. I'm desperate for a source to help me ID all Wellingtons which served with 57 Squadron, any pointers gratefully received.

I'd buy a copy this afternoon if anybody can point me towards one.
thanks to all
PeteS

Sorry to say there was no Wellington file.
I guess you would have to purchase all the separate AB serial books to pick out the Wellington info....

There is no Wellington File

Some Wellington File Movement Cards here

Thanks Gents
An opportunity there for somebody I'd say. Approx 11,460 aircraft built I believe and used on all fronts in a wide range of roles.
cheers Pete

No Wellington File, but there was a Wellington Crash Log 1937-1942 published by David J.Smith copies can be found on ebay etc now and then. For some reason Dave only produced this one volume.

As I have not seen any of these books, what are they about, a listing of all serial numbers, or service histories ? I ask because I note the 'Lancaster file' , but having recently got the 'Avro Lancaster- The Definitive Record' 2nd edition -Holmes, I cannot imagine anything better and more detailed than that book.

So there are about 20 AB serials book that one needs to acquire . to get a complete listing

A good place to start would be the RAFWEB site which has a listing of 57 Sqn Wellingtons. It’s author is Malcolm_raf of this site….

Have you tried ebay ?
Sometimes there are "Crash File's" such as Halifax
Whitley and Mosquito recently

[PeteS]

Thanks Alex I do have all of those
I was just surprised that nobody had done a Wellington file and needed to make sure I hadnt missed out if there was one.
cheers Pete
