Thanks for the comments and information.

DC – PM sent

Dan – thanks for replying

On the perspex my initial thoughts are to either get a dome blown singly or to thermo form each of the segments in place. Perhaps using Polycarbonate rather than PMMA. I have some part of my education in plastic processing so I was not worried unduly (yet!). As it is a dome it is probably easier than a Bombers turrets like Elliots.

What i dont know is quite a lot – but includes whether the Amplidyne motors used a toothed drive or a friction drive for the rotation. The vertical movement was via a toothed gear on the Stbd side. The pictures imply mainly roller bearings on a steel track

Does the turret needs to be balanced – the weight of the operator at the rear to offset the armour plate at the front.

As Amplidyne motors are no longer – it would be a modern motor system with electronic controls.

etc. etc.

Good evening sir – Thanks for agreeing. The distance between the ribs also matches the plans. I was told it was an F ?

It had remains of white paint on the lower portion. Absoloutely no markings – but I did not expect any.

The rectangular part has no markings and no holes…
