Which windows were blacked out on an Avro Lancaster?
 
My question concerns the windows that were blacked out on a Lanc. I recently found some plexiglass from what i believe to be the nose section (nose turret area) of JB 221 and wonder if any of the windows in the nose were painted black? Are there any photos /drawings that show this?

Radar covers, like the H2S bump on the bottom, and sometimes covers over ADF loops, were commonly made from plexiglas, and painted black.
