Blenheim IV F with 20mm Cannon

[stefaan]

Hi Hans.
15 sqdn SAAF had many such Blenhiem Mk IV's.
It was a field conversion that was well known with the ground crew and aircrews.Not a dummy at all.
It was welded on the floor on the right side of the bombaimer's side.
Scince they were part of a wing that had other Blenheim sqdns, these a/c sometimes may have been sent to other sqdns that was not SAAF, but what I have seen from those sqdns eg 113 Helenic, the guns were removed but the openings in the perspex remained.
For years I have asked for info if anybody has a drawing of the conversion. No luck.
Even the Blenheim society in the UK, and Smudge Smith that is restoring the Blenheim at Duxford, has never seen one as well.
Regards
