1991004674London: Quiller Press 1991. This is from the dustwrapper: "Loch Ness is the most avidly watched body of water anywhere in the world. During the 'season' bus loads of tourists alight at Urquhart Castle to stand and gaze out over the loch in the hope of catching sight ofthe monster. An old log or the wake from a passing boat can cause fingers to point and adrenalin to pump. Seventy metres below the surface on the soft peaty bottom lay the body of a monster that died many years ago. In places its skin had rotted away to reveal its shiny bones and its life blood has long since drained into the silt but - it was not Nessie. Its skin was fabric its bones duralumin its blood hydraulic fluid and its name was Wimpy. Today long after that monster died and sank. gently to the bottom of the loch the name Wimpy means little to a generation familiar with aircraft that fly faster than the speed of sound instant television reporting and phrases like "I counted them all out and I counted them all back". .But to those of us whose hair is a little grey at the temples or has departed altogether the name Wimpy elicits memories of the dark days of World War 11 when aeroplanes struggled to fly faster than two hundred miles an hour and the nine o'clock news on the wireless would tell us that "one of our aircraft is missing". In 1940 every schoolboy could tell the difference between a Whitley Blenheim Hampden or a Wellington. These were important names then because they were bombers of the Royal Air Force- all we had to strike back with against the might of the Third Reich. Our monster that lay so peacefully on the bottom of Loch Ness for forty-four years is "one of our aircraft" that went missing on New Year's Eve 1940 a Wellington bomber N2980 known affectionately to everyone during the war as a Wimpy. Out of a total of 11461 produced only two Wellingtons now remain. One a trainer that saw no active service resides at the RAF Museum Hendon. The other a battle scarred veteran of the skies over Germany lay quietly on the bottom of Loch Ness until 1985 when it was recovered by the Loch Ness Wellington Association Ltd a creation of the author and returned to its birthplace at Weybridge.This is its story."
