The remains of the FN4 found in Aus ended up back in the UK I believe, cant remember who and where though, is/was displayed in these pics last that I’m aware of. I followed this closely as would of made a good matching pair with my early Sunderland nose turret. There was a FN4 control column showed up not that long ago here in Aus also, so parts still out there.
I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to investigate and respond to my original post as it appears I haven’t till now, much appreciated.

Alan can you supply some dimensions and any visible part no.s of that hydraulic ram if possible? wanting to confirm 2 matches which I’m 99 percent sure it belongs to.
Thanks for your time with looking for it A.M.
Can I ask what reference was the mentioned list contained in?, so I can discount it in further searches.
Maybe similar to this Rotax type actuator?

Is the gun mount single Browning?…..hard to make out.
Port side Sunderland Mk V [ATTACH=CONFIG]258009[/ATTACH]
and best shot of port Mk l I can find, annoyingly just out of view [ATTACH=CONFIG]258010[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]258007[/ATTACH]
Not port side at least I would think. I can’t find a starboard pic sorry.
Any ideas what this is / from / used for?
Could this be something made from the unfinished Spanish built Fokker DXXI’s?, has some similarities. http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Fokker_D.XXI

No it’s a nose turret we imported from Aus. The Aussies were the first to modify their early model B24’s to take the A6. Ours is defiantly hinged.
Some photos here of the B24 nose conversion in Aus.

Just found this , almost certain the right hand door. Apparently a Consolidated A6 turret?

I know this is a quite old post and probably been solved long ago, but these doors appear a good match on the Consolidated B24 tail turret.
