The B24 went through a bewildering array of marks, particularly in RAF service. Fantastic footage. There can't be much more colour footage out there of RAF Liberators.Thanks.
This one's unusual in that it has RAF roundels, a colour scheme that is possibly (?) american olive drab and neutral grey delivery colours, and Consolidated front and rear turrets. Once again thanks.
My grandfather, Albert Trumbly, was a radio operator on a B24 that flew over the Ploesti Oilfield raids. They were shot down and he was a P.O.W. until Patton's Army liberated them. He is still living, but in ill health, so if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask me.
I thought B24s had ball turrets ?

My grandfather was on the B-24J in the Pacific. We recently flew on the only remaining airworthy liberator, a part of the collings foundation.

Always good to see something different with an RAF roundel on it!
Do we know anything about this particular ship? Year or type?
Agree with Sgtgrech, atypical Coastal Command scheme.
As always, quality colour footage Gunner.
