Vickers Wellington Mk XIIÉ/T.10

The Vickers Wellington Mk XIIÉ was a variation of the British Wellington constructed as a naval cooperation airplane for the Coastal Command of RAF. Some of the Greek airplanes were equipped with ASV radar and it is noted that crew from the 13th Squadron were trained in its use. At least 19 of them delivered (small numbers of the T.10 variation was also included) and their service as a transport ended in 1947, after the arrival of the C-47.
