Yes, he designed the Wellington bomber with its geodetic construction as well. The RAF museum in Hendon has a recreation of his design office with all his original furniture and other artifacts as well as examples of the Tall Boy and Grand Slam bombs. Visit if you get a chance, a short train ride from Kings Cross and a 15 minute walk.
I shall do that if/when I get that way again. I like those kinds of displays. I once got to visit the office of Igor Sikorsky's in Stratford Conn. I even got to sit in his chair and on his desk was a letter he had partially penned to the USCG the day on which he went home and died. That old Bowler hat he wore in that famous picture whilst test flying one of his contraptions was there as well under glass cover.
