As my father did not fly in Blenheims I would suggest that Don Clark’s answer of “I think you’ll find the training syllabus covered details of all the turrets then in operational use” is the correct one.
Thanks for your reply Don. I am currently working on my father’s time in the R.A.F. As far as the two tours my father flew I have a lot of information however I am finding the training period harder to put together.
I have compiled quite an amount on 9 B&GS but am struggling with 14 OTU.
You are correct about the log books, they show he flew in Whitleys and Battles at 9 B&GS and Hampdens and Ansons at 14 OTU.
I think your text should read cooperation between “Britain Australia and Canada” and also “Britain’s most effective,” The Scots Welsh and Irish also flew in Lancasters and would take umbrage at being described as English.
The original poster on WIX (Tanker 336) is searching for further information on his uncle Oscar Rees who is the Flight Sergeant pictured on the right of of the five crew members that are not in flying gear.
