Caption

Refuelling a Wellesley Bomber, 1940. The Vickers Wellesley was a British 1930s light bomber built by Vickers-Armstrongs for the Royal Air Force. Whilst it was obsolete by the start of World War II, and unsuited to the European air war, the Wellesley was successfully used in the desert theatres of East Africa, Egypt and the Middle East.
