Beggers belief if you look at what was available internally to fix a cannon too....very little that wasn't already committed to something else that the airframe needed to fly!!

Now that must have thrown the controls out of the pilots hands

I believe that some British
Beauforts had the Bofors gun fitted for use in the anti shipping/submarine role.

As delivered, this configuration featured four 50 Cal. machine guns in the nose right above the cannon. Apparently you walked on your aim with the machine guns and then let go with the cannon.

Well on the same thread............guns on aircraft, a stick of rock to whoever can tell me who these guys are and what they are looking at?

Looks like German
MG-08 aircraft guns, no buttstock so they probably aren't balloon guns.
Are they looking a spent casing chute so the ejected brass didn't damage the aircraft?

No its not sorry, but yes they are German
guns x 2...........its a bit of teaser I know, but a certain country whose members our on this site in good number will recognise the uniform and thereafter put two and two together.
Its a famous point in Military flying history thats my only clue!!

Again a guess, would this be the first capture of the German
propeller synchronizer system by the British
forces?
