Wackett designed for the Australian airforce a two-engined bomber/torpedo bomber.
The first prototype was the CA.4 and after some modifications a new model was build as the CA.11.
It actually to late because other, foreign, aeroplanes were used, with good results.
Both the CAC CA-4 and the CA-11 Woomera have gunbarbettes behind the engines.
I have seen some pictures of them.
Now I am interresting who the complete system was from gunner to the barbettes.
Is there anybody who has drawings/pictures which showed this system?
Thanks

From what I understand the original plans were left out in the rain by a cleaner and lost forever.
Wouldn’t mind them myself ! I have a collection of parts for the CA-11 and/or 4 and we have the largest surviving part in the Museum being the gun turret. Fuse frames are supposed to be buried under a local shopping centre…
