Wellington v He-111

[cheddar cheese]

There is actually a fair share of sun here. 8)

There isn't here. Well, it's weird. Summer and Winter have mixed together and there is mixed patterns of weather. However, we get no extremes.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Its usually Sunny but cold.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well the weather can turn extreamly quickly and without warning.............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yup, a bit like the French.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

oohhhh that's a good one

 

[cheddar cheese]

I only stated the obvious

Cant believe the HE11 is so far ahead in this poll.

The Wellington is far superior, and could take far more punishment than the HE111, which was getting a bit long in the tooth at the start of the war anyway!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well so was the wimpy a bit but she was still far superior..........

 

[mosquitoman]

Exactly, the only reason the Heinkel continued to the end of the war was that there was nothing better, just look at the german version of a heavy bomber- the He177

 

[cheddar cheese]

Although in fairness the payload of the He-111 wasnt too bad.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but it rarely carried the full ammount.........

 

[HealzDevo]

I vote for the Wimpy or Wellington as it provided a great service to the RAF in day and night bombing right up until the end of WW2.

 

[mosquitoman]

It's last bombing sortie was in late 1944, it went into Coastal Command and Training Command use

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but she still gave huge ammouts of service, the whimpy really does have to win this.........

 

[cheddar cheese]

I agree, it does. I cant think of any viable reasons why the He-111 is winning this, apart from maybe looks.

 

[mosquitoman]

Please CC, have you no taste in aircraft?
The Wimpey looks much better than the Heinkel

 

[cheddar cheese]

I think the He-111 is up there with the B-29 in terms of best looking bomber of the war.
