	J. Wellington Wimpy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wimpy on the cover of a typical Tijuana bible.
		There is a chain of Wimpy hamburger restaurants which are named after him, originally launched in the United Kingdom in 1954 by J.
		Wimpy is also somewhat of a scam artist and (especially in the newspaper cartoons) can be shockingly underhanded at times.

	wellington
		The Wellington was quite well suited to the "night precision" and "close-in army cooperation" targets of 205 Group, but did not have the defensive firepower or bombload and range capacity to continue to serve in the saturation raids that Harris conceived after mid 1944.
		Although the first Wellington was taken on strength by the RAF in 1938, they were still rolling off the assembly line at Vickers in 1944 for use in the Far East, The Med and on OTU's in the UK.
		The Wimpy could, with a specially modified bomb bay, carry the 4000 lb HC "cookie" or "blockbuster" bomb and most squadrons had at least two "cookie kites" modified to carry this weapon partly inside and partly outside the aircraft.

	Cinema 4: Cel Bloc: SPREE LUNCH (1957)
		Wimpy, who, of course, tells Bluto that he would like a hamburger, "For which, I would gladly pay you next Tuesday!" Despite the fact that it is his famous response to a menu order, it is also by far the wittiest thing said in the film.
		Yes, Wimpy, I have met you before; sadly, you were in far better form in much funnier, and much earlier, cartoons than Spree Lunch, a 1957 programmer that, not coincidentally, was the penultimate entry in the Popeye series at Famous Studios.
		That this gag has been done before elsewhere is beside the point; the calmness and grace with which Wimpy has been imbued as he enacts this scenario is the point: in the midst of all of this chaotic but humdrum activity, the serendipitous arrival of Wimpy's lunch becomes the focal point of the story.

		Designed by Barnes Wallis and Rex Pierson of Vickers Aviation, the Wimpy - which derived its nickname from Disney's cartoon character J Wellington Wimpy - valiantly withstood the dust, rough landing grounds and minimal maintenance of desert conditions.
		At a time when the twin-engine Wellington "Wimpy" bomber was being superseded over Germany by the Avro Lancaster and other four-engine bombers, Bagnall led successful Wimpy operations in support of Allied forces in the North Africa desert, Sicily and Italy.
		The tenacity with which Bagnall hurled his obsolescent Wellingtons against strategic and battlefield targets was further illustrated two months later, in November 1943, when his Squadron, No 40, attacked a railway viaduct linking two mountain tunnels at Recco, east of Genoa in Italy.
