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!!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

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

I believe that some British icon

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?

**Sentryduty** · 02-12-2016 12:25 PM

Looks like German icon

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?

**Gil Boyd** · 02-12-2016 12:38 PM

No its not sorry, but yes they are German icon

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 icon

propeller synchronizer system by the British icon

forces?
