Re: P-51 w/ 4 X 20mm

Colin - there were no significant changes to the gun bays of the XP-51 through P-51B/C so if Hispanos were feasible in the earlier series it should have been an easy field mod at worst to replace 4x50's in the inboard and center gun bays, and simply remove the outboard guns.

Is there any contrary documentation to indicate why RAF didn't do this? IIRC, the RAF modified the armament for the Mustang I to include 30 cal.
