Having read about the Iraq Campaigns in WW2  . I wanted to do something inspired by the Vickers Vernon. However this version turned out prettier. The main Fuselage is Wellington . The tail and wings is Supermarine Stranaer and the nose Fairey Swordfish

Yours would be appropriate for the Spanish Civil War GB, especially if painted orange!
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!
