The Royal New Zealand Air Force had a number of Vickers Vildebeest and Vincents in service at start of WW2 and my question is; How do you tell them visually apart?

Hey A4K,
It looks like the tail struts are where you tell the difference.The Vincent was designed to carry a fuel tank instead of a torpedo and that was why the tail struts are different in looks. There is also some stories about a tropical version, purported to be the Vincent without engine cowling.

Wasn't it the fact that one was incredibly ugly and had a tail hook, and the other was just incredibly ugly (though not as ugly as the Overstrand). (cue silly giggle)
