The Warwick C3's were used by the RAF as transport aircraft. 100 C3 frames were built. In 1946, this particular aircraft was fitted with Sabre VI engines and serving as an engine test-bed. Photo from Vickers

Another shot of this maritime patrol Warwick. The large Leigh searchlight had been made retractable, necessitating the removal of the dorsal gun turret. As in the Wellington, the windows made no secret of the geodetic framework which was already obsolete. Photo from: Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie

The Warwick was developed from the Wellington, retaining the geodetic construction. It never saw action as a bomber but was used in maritime roles. The GR Mk V had a retractable Leigh Light in the rear fuselage. This aircraft, LM818, had its radar dome moved from the belly into a chin position.
