Re: Lockheed Ventura four gun turret

Hi.
SAAF Venturas and Baltimores were either those that were obtained via purchase, or Lend-Lease.
Those that were bought could be changed by the RAF as they wanted, but those on Lend-Lease had to stay as the Americans supplied them. Those that were bought had the RAF preferred Boulton Paul turrets with .303 ammo, and those on Lend lease twin gunned .50 Browning guns.
