Subject: Vickers Wellesley Dear Pete,
Just discovered this thread, so this reply to your posting is a year late!<br>
Torpedo-bombing was one of the original requirements of the Wellesley specification, and
the Air Torpedo Development Unit used K7740 for trials with 18" torpedoes. There is a
still of a drop in progress in the Wellesley "Profile" magazine. Hence, you could well have seen some archive footage of a Wellesley dropping a
torpedo.
Regards,
Iain.
