Hi All,
We are looking for the correct mk14 bomb sight mount to fit in the nose of NX611 to carry her sight. It can be seen on the right of this photo-
Does anyone have one for sale or available for a pattern?

We’ve got the .5’s out the tail and the .303’s out of the front. We need 2 .5’s for the Mid-upper turret that we are restoring.

Hi NX,
Apologies for asking this, as it’s unrelated to your request.
I remember reading somewhere that you were looking for the guns (2 .303’s and 2 .5 Brownings), for the turrets. If that is the case, do you know what happened to the originally fitted guns? The reason I ask is that while I was Stationed at Scampton, in the late 70’s – early 80’s, all 4 guns (deactivated), were kept in the Station Armoury. I know because I was Weapons Tecnicion, and One of our Sergeants worked on one of the .5’s and got it to do everything but fire.
What happened to these guns after Feb 1982 (when I left) I cannot help with.
Regards, Cabbage
