Wellington waist gun pictures

Thanks for nice shot turretboy.

Slightly off topic but yep that’s definitely a Hudson, looking forward. Some Coastal Command Huds did have extra waist VGOs, as well as a mid upper turret and the ventral VGO position.

Still keen to see the Wellington Browning mount, (which was quite a complex arrangement) but looks like I’m drawing a blank.

Cheers.

Tim.

Think Hornchurch has it right;

while the bracket for the MG isnt there those strange ( to me anyway ) clip things above the window are there, as is the bracing on the panel underneath the window beside the MG position.

I found this….it’s not a Browning, but a Vicker’s K gun and I’m not sure of the aircraft type.

A Sunderland?

Ain’t a Sunderland OR Liberator

For all the world it’s “screaming” Lockheed Hudson to me….. 😎

Check the Pilot’s ‘framing’ & the waist Gunners proximity to the cockpit;)

Biggest giveaway, is the shape of those windows he’s peering thru.

(This particular a/c may not have a mid-upper, just a possibility, but I’m still 100% convinced it’s a Lockheed Hudson)

Roomy airframe. Sunderlands had circular windows. How about a Liberator? [some marks were not equipped with the larger waist gunner hatch]

A Sunderland?
