Halifax Rear Turrets

Bombers, or Halifaxes, are not my “thing” (sorry Cees!) and my knowledge and reference books are thin on type.

Can anyone tell me the rear turret type(s) fitted to the Halifax. I know, I know….I ought to know!

Someone will, I’m sure.

And….can someone confirm this is the back end of a Halifax?

I’d say it is indeed a Halifax (from the high position of the tailplane relative to the fuselage) and a Boulton-Paul type E turret.
