So are you going to go this year?
I did know that really! :doh: My next question was going to be: since the role of Flight Engineers was not created until early 42, eventually...

Thanks, GD, but no sign of the rear gun mounting. I wonder if these were all removed when the type ceased to be used for Army Co-op and the answer...

God must be female - otherwise she wouldn't have put testicles on the outside.
