I believe that I am correct in stating that one of the turrets which is currently fitted to the Battle of Britain Flight's Avro Lancaster was sourced/found in Argentina in the late 1970s.

Theres a lot of the BBMF Lanc parts from a Lincoln, the tail wheel tyres are from an Airbus of all things!

While I was in NZ, I was told that the front guns in the Sunderlands they had at the time were 20mm cannons from Lincoln bombers, brought from Argentina in the 50's. Made the Sunderlands into ship-busters.

I believe that some models of the Shackleton had 20mm cannon in the nose as well.

That was the MR3 F10, tricycle undercarriage and tip tanks, a very attractive but also a quite dangerous aircraft I believe, with rather vicious stall characteristics, due the the considerable increase in all up weight.

An old neighbour of mine flew MR2's and 3's, he said the MR2 had very good flight characteristics, but every crews worst nightmare was hitting a big still air pocket in an MR3, if one of the wings stalled, it was all over, no chance of recovery... He hated them.
