Re: Lockheed Ventura four gun turret
This is the Boulton Paul Type A, as originally fitted to the Defiant and later to the Halifax. This appears to have been a rare fitting, which is probably why it is missing from most if not all sources. My only previous encounter with it was on a modelling board, when writer and modeller Tony O'Toole spotted it when researching Venturas. I believe this research was published in a modelling magazine, but I'm afraid I don't know which.
