The correct answer is the Vickers Warwick. The Vickers Warwick was a transport, anti-submarine patrol and air-sea rescue aircraft of the RAF during World War II. The Warwick was designed to Air Ministry specification B.1/35 for a two-engined heavy (by the standards of the day) bomber to replace the Wellington. The prototype orders were cancelled in 1936 when it was decided to standardise on four engined bombers. Vickers-Armstrong completed two prototypes, one with Rolls-Royce Vulture water-cooled engines, not persisted with because of production difficulties and one with the air-cooled Pratt & Whitney. The Warwick used geodetic construction pioneered in the Wellesley and Wellington. Structural members of duralumin were covered by wired-on fabric. 219 Warwick Is were built, the last 95 with 2,000 hp (1,500 kW) R-2800-47 engines.
The correct answer was submitted by rdxpress, milairejunkie, intruder38, skybolt2003, PontiacRich, wayne baker and Viper has the Lead. An earlier technical glitch caused a scoring error against rdexpress, this has been corrected in the final scoring.
The final standings are: rdxpress, milairejunkie, intruder38, skybolt2003, PontiacRich and wayne baker are tied for 1st with 10 correct, wayne baker is 2nd with 9 correct; bondoman and Viper has the Lead are tied at 3rd with 6 correct.
