Re: beaufighter/s with 40mm cannon
According to Victor Bingham's book, which includes a photo, the installation was in the fuselage of R2055 with a Vickers 40mm in the starboard gun bay (conversion done sometime between 24/3/41 when the a/c arrived at the Aircraft Gun Mounting Establishment at Duxford and 11/July when air firing took place) and a Rolls Royce 40mm installed in the port gun bay after it was delivered on 12 August. Testing with both guns fitted was carried out in October 1941.
