  • Love the commentary at 8:27

  • wheres 1/7?

  • "We've pursuaded a qualified air gunner to play the part of a trainee" You mean ordered him! lol

  • Thanks, great vid!.

  • why are the guns cocked twice?

  • "With very unpleasant consequences - apart from the icy cold, with the loss of life, and certainly with the loss of a very good door." 5 stars for this one!

  • Thanks for posting these. My dad was an amourer/air gunner on Wellingtons. He was small so they picked him out as a rear gunner. He did stints in Coastal Command flying out of Iceland then went out to the Western Desert and Italy. Brought a tear to my eye to see these.

  • Nice footage, absolutly first class, must check all your vids out

  • Fantastic. I've always had a fascination with turrets, as my late father was an armourer with 40 sqn during the war, and was therefore very familiar with Frazer Nash units. Thank you so much for posting all these films.
