It is a normal 4 x ".303 turret (lancs never had 1 ".50 and 2 ".303 - you can see 2 guns on the furthest side from the camera) which leave the normal turret or the 2 x ".50 turret and as you can see at least 3 guns it is the normal turret

You can clearly see the far side barrels... so we're talking about the near side barrels obsuring one another...
Draw a small diagram, for that to occur you'd not be taking the picture from the position it's taken from... far from it..
Kiwi... were you there... do you know the ground crews for tha squadron... because if not you realy don't know.
I'm just asking questions about that rear turret and making observations that your reasons for it being as it it... IMO don't add up...
Do the trigonometry on barrels that close to each other.. | |

Country: | I'm an engineer... I work at Rolls Royce...I'm 42, so I'm not a fresh faced, which end of the screwdiver do I hold engineer.
I'm quite capable of understanding the effort that would go into creating such a hybrid.... however I'm also capable of understanding just how creative and adaptive some of our fitters are...
If you'll note the tone of text I used to start this hi-jack discission, it was of a pleasant nature, a could it be possible ?
Right now... I think you can stick your condescending attitude up you arse..

Country: | as an engineer one of the first things you would do is look at the physical dimensions and I believe the 303 was shorter then the 50 cal
