Photo ID turret from a Whitley?

Hi,

Is there anyone who can tell me if the remains of the turret on this photo is from a Whitley bomber? Photo was made in Belgium, so it could be the turret from K8985.

Regards,

Mathieu.

Thanks for the replies. So it is indeed a Whitley, does anyone knows if there were more Whitleys in Belgium than the K8985? Someone identified the airfield as Nijvel.

Regrads,

Mathieu.

Yes, they’re the remains of an early Whitley with an AW tail turret.
