Re: Question B24 Liberator used by RAF Group No. 205

The majority (if not all) of the Liberators in 205 Group were Mk.VIs and Mk.VIIIs (B-24H or J) delivered with the US weapons. These aircraft were not normally, if ever, rearmed. It is possible that some individual aircraft may have carried an additional gun or two, but it seems unlikely.

There may have been some residual Mk.IIs, which were built to British requirements and fitted with Boulton Paul turrets using 0.303s, but I'd be a little surprised.
