Shoreham Aerojumble today – Caption competition.

Ahhh, thanks for reminding me of the caravan Yak11…

When I said some jobs there were given a higher priority, I did have my tougue firmly placed in cheek :diablo:

(The words arse about face and priorities spring to mind)

Yes I think the caravan caper was in fact a failed attempt to convert it into a fully airworthy replica of B-26 Marauder….

Marvelous really…

Dismembering old caravans from time to time I seem to recall

Halifax Turret

Well, it was in the Rebel Air Museum for all the years I was there 🙂

But seriously, I will have a good rummage through the paperwork I have from my time there and see if I can come up with anything. I certain I have a little bit of history about the turret somewhere.

We never, ever seemed to be able to get around to restoring the turret, which was a shame really. There always seemed to be something else with a higher priority status to be done!

I do hope it ends up in a good home….

Well I’ve just checked some paperwork that I still have relating to that turret, and it seems that it was indeed from a Halifax, and not a Liberator.

Hope this helps…

It does, cheers

Any info from whence it came?

Well, I’m a bit curious 😮

Cheers

That Turret

Well I would think that if the black colour is beneath the white then it could very well have been from a Halifax as various warweary Mk V’s were transferred from Bomber Command to Coastal Command and painted white. There were not many (if at all) Libs that were flying in bomber command colurs before transferring to Coastal Command.

I wonder if we can find out at all. But it’s interesting nevertheless.

Cheers

Ahhh….I recognise that turret…

Remember that turret from all my years at the Rebel Air Museum…
It was always credited there as being Halifax (although I was never sure of it being Halifax myself)
Damn shame that collection was allowed to be split up like that….I know that it shouldn’t have been for various reasons….oops, enough of that!

Hope it goes to a good home.

Wow, another Boulton Paul Type E turret. Any idea where it was headed? Would like to add details to my list of preserved BP associated items: http://www.boultonpaul.com/preserved/

Back to where it came from – Colchester area.

There was strong interest but money did not change hands.

I’ll let you know when it sells.

what is the story on this turret?
looks like a Halifax type.

Halifax or Liberator.

Some original white paint would suggest formerly fitted to a Liberator.
