Halifax Wing Bomb Bay Compartments – How Many?

I have read that the Halifax had either two or three wing bomb bay compartments between the fuselage and both inboard engines. I have seen pictures which show three wing bomb bays on a Halifax Mk II, and a picture showing two compartments on the restored Mk III Halifax in Trenton. Were the number of compartments reduced on the Mk III and VII?

Can anyone clarify this queston for me?

Thanks.

Halifax Pictures

Hi Mike,

Outstanding pictures!!! The next best thing to being there. However, I will still make the trip to Trenton sometime to see the Halifax in person. It’s a bit of a hike from Winnipeg.

Does anyone have any pictures that they could post showing the mid-upper turrent in the Halifax (BP Type A Mk VIII) taken from inside the aircraft? I haven’t seen any in the Halifax publications that I have seen. How did the gunner get into the turret?

Thanks in advance.

Ron
