I would say, as a rough guesstimate anything above .50 Cal. (12.75mm) would be a cannon shell.

Just my humble personal opinion.

We could see the red arrows doing their thing from my rooftop in central London! Must be at least 10 miles to Biggin from where I live.

Pity we couldn’t see the BBMF as well!

We have quite a lot of FN16 turret parts for our Whitley – in fact many of them are recognisable from your pictures! I also can send you some scans from the AP as well – they will help you ID all the components you have there – it does look very complete. I am very curious as to how it ended up in Canada – as far as I know, there turrets were only used on Whitleys.

We do plan to start work on our front turret sometime this year and when we do, a lot more information on these turrets will come to light as research progesses.

Can you give me your email addy please?

Thanks

Both boards are all the richer for a person with the fire and enthusiasm that Rob obviously has in spades. That we dont always all agree with him is irrelevant – we need more people like this to ensure the movement as a whole continues to move forward, and not, as I am increasingly concerned it will, stagnate, and sink back into the mire.

Keep posting Rob – if I dont agree with you, I wont reply. If I do, you will hear from me!

Cheers

Bruce

I’m with you Bruce

It doesn’t matter if we agree or not – everyone is entitle to their opinion. I always find your posts entertaining Rob – keep it up!

Hi all

You have probably seen it all by now, but anyway, here are some more pictures. Both of the salvaged aircraft is probably on their way away from mid-Norway now, or by tomorrow.

Awesome picture KAB

Thanks

Elliott,

In your list of MOD contractors (haven’t received mine for the Typhoon yet!) are Metro-Cammell or BSA listed?

Cheers
Dave

Not sure off hand Dave

I’ll check for you.
