Re: To Vickers Wellesley’s experts : technical questions

The detail under the DF antenae whihc you thought might be a gun is the window structure. There was a trangular window made up from the geodetic structure on each side of the fuselage.

Do a google image search for Vickers Wellesley and you will see it much clearer on photos and models.

Perhaps you can read French better than me:

I explect that the third seat is inside whre the windows are.
