RM2EPHMMY–A Handley Page V/1500, a British night-flying heavy bomber built towards the end of the First World War intended to bomb Berlin from East Anglian airfields. The end of the war stopped the V/1500 being used against Germany, but a single aircraft was used to carry out the first flight from England to India, and later carried out a bombing raid on Kabul during the Third Anglo-Afghan War.

The Bristol Blenheim was a British light bomber aircraft used extensively in the first two years of the Second World War. In addition to operating as medium bombers, some were converted into heavy fighters by the addition of four Browning .303 machine guns mounted under the fuselage.

The first U-boat kill attributed to the Whitley Mk VII was the sinking of the German submarine U-751 on 17 July 1942, which was achieved in combination with a Lancaster heavy bomber.
