Learning of a new aircraft, the Wellington bomber

When you made a bad landing with most aircraft, particularly light ones, then you, you, you gunned your engine, and you went around again. Hence the term "circuits and bumps." Well, everybody was used to this. So, we made a rather rough landing. And, and as we bounced up on the first bump, then he decided to go around again. Well, you didn't do that with the Wellington, which he didn't realize, and I don't know why, he should have been. But it just ain't done because you don't have the power. So, we went along the runway, the full length of the runway, with one wing down about 10 feet, and finally got over the fence and the trees with very, very small amount of clearance. And, of course, this was all very painful. And when we made a good landing, the next trip, then the station commander was there at the end of the runway, beating on the door to get in. And he was very unhappy. And he left a very unhappy pilot. So, that was the cute little things but, of course, it was very near a crash, and usually those crashes are pretty nasty because they burn. So, that was our first little trip on the Wimpy. That's the nickname for Wellington.
