Editing Vickers Wellington (section)

===Airborne radar===
In late 1944, a radar-equipped Wellington XIV from 407 Sqn. RCAF was modified for use by the RAF's [[Fighter Interception Unit]] as what would now be described as an [[airborne early warning and control]] aircraft.<ref name="bga">Jackson 2007, p. 217.</ref> It operated at an altitude of {{cvt|4000|ft}} over the [[North Sea]] to control a [[de Havilland Mosquito]] and a [[Bristol Beaufighter]] fighter intercepting [[Heinkel He 111]] bombers flying from [[Netherlands|Dutch]] airbases and carrying out airborne launches of the [[V-1 flying bomb]]. The FIU operators on the Wellington would search for the He 111 aircraft climbing to launch altitude, then direct the Beaufighter to attack the bomber, while the Mosquito would attempt to intercept the V-1 if it was launched.<ref>R.H.
