Read the Wellington link:

AN ICONIC second world war bomber, which featured in the 1955 film The Dam Busters, has been moved from its home at the Royal Air Force museum to undergo a five year restoration...

...The Vickers Wellington was designed by famous engineer and inventor Barnes Wallis in the mid-1930's.

Wallis is best known for his invention of the bouncing bomb, used to attack the dams of the Ruhr Valley during the Second World War. The attack was the subject of the iconic war film The Dam Busters, in which the Wellington had a starring role.
Nice bit of research there, Zoe...
