Re: Sqn Ldr Reginald J Peacock - Blenhein Ace
The tactics used by aircrew on 235, 248, 236 and 254 was a simple one. The navigator stuck his head out the side window situated behind the pilots seat (port) and likewise did the same on the starboard side.
Communication was requisite with Peacock's gunner Sgt William Wilson. However if comms failed they had a bicycle chain pully system which they could attach note to.
Some had chinagraph pencil marks on the Perspex too. As you know they had a simple drop down ring sight, a contemporary of Peacock's Jackson-Smith said you just had to get in close as the 303 machine guns had little convergence in the gun pack.
