USBUNDLEA1 RAF Bomber Bundle
Product Info
Introducing the Second World War RAF Bomber bundle. What more than a perfect way in which to commemorate the contribution of RAF bomber crews to the eventual Allied victory during the Second World War. Making the change from daylight to night bombing having suffered horrendous losses at the hands of the Luftwaffe, bomber crews may have had some respite from enemy fighters, but now they had to navigate and attack targets in the black of night.
Flown by heroic crews, aircraft such as the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, Vickers Wellington and the mighty Avro Lancaster slowly turned the tide of war and helped pave the way for eventual Allied victory. In the words of Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris, “They sowed the wind and now they’re going to reap the whirlwind”.
What's Included
Avro Lancaster B.III
Product code: A08013A
As the third of Britain's four engine heavy bombers to enter RAF service during WWII, the Avro Lancaster proved to be an exceptional aircraft, possessing a large unobstructed bomb bay, which allowed it to carry some of the largest bombs of the war. At least thirty five Lancaster's managed to complete an astonishing 100 missions or more and are referred to by historians and enthusiasts as the Lancaster Centurions, an exclusive group of extremely hard working bombers.
Scheme 1: R5868 S-Sugar 467 Squadron RAAF.

Vickers Wellington Mk.II
Product code: A08021
As Britain looked to strike back at the start of WWII, the Vickers Wellington was arguably their most important aircraft and they needed to ensure a constant supply of new machines. In an attempt to introduce some engine option flexibility and to provide the Wellington with greater power, around 400 Mk.II Wellingtons's were modified to take Rolls Royce Merlin X engines, a development which gave this famous bomber a very different appearance.
