Default Building a bomber plane in just a day

Interessant sak med filmsnutt fra Slaget om Storbrtiannia på BBC.

In the midst of World War II, workers at a Welsh aircraft factory gave up their weekend off to build a Wellington bomber from scratch in just 24 hours. Why? To set a new world record.

Default Re: Building a bomber plane in just a day

Imponerende, virkelig! Selv om de sier at Wellington var enkel å sette sammen, nesten som et Mekano-byggesett...
En annen effekt av dens geodetiske konstruksjon var jo at den tålte utrolig mye juling før den "gikk i oppløsning". I motsetning til den senere Lancaster, som vel av Wellington-tilhengere ble omtalt som "Flimsy"..
