The Type 253 was determined to be the best submission received by the <a href="/wiki/Air_Ministry" title="Air Ministry">Air Ministry</a>, thus an order for 150 production aircraft was issued. As a private venture, Vickers had also developed the <a href="/wiki/Monoplane" title="Monoplane">monoplane</a> <i>Type 256</i>; following flight testing of this aircraft, the order placed for the Type 253 was converted for the Type 256 instead. </p><p>The vast majority of the Wellesley's production run were supplied to the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Air_Force" title="Royal Air Force">Royal Air Force</a> (RAF), a total of six squadrons under <a href="/wiki/RAF_Bomber_Command" title="RAF Bomber Command">RAF Bomber Command</a> operated the type at its peak. A high-profile demonstration of the aircraft's capabilities was conducted during early November 1938 via a flight of three Wellesleys that flew non-stop for two days from <a href="/wiki/Ismailia" title="Ismailia">Ismailia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a> to <a href="/wiki/Darwin,_Northern_Territory" title="Darwin, Northern Territory">Darwin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australia</a>, a distance of 7,162 miles (11,526 km), setting a <a href="/wiki/Flight_distance_record" title="Flight distance record">world distance record</a> in the process. While the type was considered to be obsolete by the start of the <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">Second World War</a> and thus unsuited to the <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">European</a> air war, the Wellesley was operated overseas in the desert theatres of East <a href="/wiki/Africa" title="Africa">Africa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Middle_East" title="Middle East">Middle East</a>.
