Vickers Vildebeest

Vickers Vildebeest

Aircraft of this type were used operationally by Nos.36 and 100 Sqds against the Japanese in Burma until Singapore fell in 1942
Slight misidentification on this one...it's a Westland Wapiti and not a Vickers Vildebeest. The 'Beest is a single-bay biplane whereas the Wapiti is a 2-bay biplane. Also, the Vildebeest was a torpedo plane. There's no way the above airframe could drop a torpedo due to the axle connecting the wheels.
