Warmtoast,
I think that was a figment of the artist's imagination ! They are certainly Wellingtons, but IIMC we only had a few out there, and they certainly wouldn't be attacking at nought feet ! The things on the ground are supposed to be "Bettys" or "Sallys".
I don't remember seeing any of them in my time there, but I believe the VVs cooperated in a joint attack with a single "Wimpey" (reputedly carrying a 4,000 lb bomb) somewhere in N. Burma. It was called "Operation Wimpo" - but I can't trace it now. We (110 Sqn or 8 Sqn (IAF) were not involved.
Whatever "heavy" bombing we did would be with the B-24s (ours was mainly tactical)...... Danny.
EDIT: And what are they doing out there, bombing in broad daylight in home night black instead of jungle camouflage, and full roundels instead of the SEAAC white and blue !...D.
