Re: Avro Lincoln in action in 1944
The Lincoln's upper turret didn't look any different from the Lancaster's. The recoil from two Hispano's is considerable. Not having been used in anger (Lancaster mid-upper's were also rarely used?), was the turret and it's mechanism up to long term firing? (cf the post-war auto 5.25" on Vanguard, believed not to have been up to real combat use).
