Er, another question

[cheddar cheese]

At school me and the lanchave been wondering whether there was such a plane as the westland welkin, someones bound to know, is there?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes there was a plane called the welkin, it was developed to fight the germans at high altitude

 

[cheddar cheese]

you only know that cos you read it off my top trumps

panic over people, we researched it in our own time.

however, we are in doubt about the "vickers windsor", which is supposed to be the 4 engined version of the wellington anyone know about this?
