    Hi
    can anyone tell me what plane this is? I'd say its a Wellington.
    the crew are Sgt Weir and the Sarvis crew, 576 Squadron.

    It is a Vickers Wellington, but its not a 576 Squadron aircraft, as 576 Squadron only used the Avro Lancaster on operations.

    This is my Grandfather, SGT JM WEIR's training photo from 1944(I think) at RAF Wymeswold. The crew is the SARVIS Crew (Lancaster PB265)
