Armed training aircraft
In my youth back in the 80's i can remember field walking a crash site of a Hurricane near Gloucester, i found many live but very bent .303 rounds on the surface.
The Hurricane was from a training school at RAF Aston Down and crashed if i remember correctly in 1941 / 42 being flown by a trainee pilot who "simply" lost control of his aircraft and was sadly killed.
When did the RAF arm training aircraft and also did the Luftwaffe do the same?
Also were any "fledgling" pilots from either side ever credited with getting any kills whilst still in early training?
