Aircraft turrets

Posted by Cees Broere on Fri Jul 25, 2003 10:25:56 AM

Hi all,

The earlier post on the Whitley turrets got me thinking. Personally I think the aircraft turrets as used in the bombers of WWII is very fascinating technology and every time I see one on display in a museum or installed in a bomber it attracts me like a moth to a flame, but I would like to know are there still turret cupolas being found in use as garden cloches or otherwise and is there some sort of website or similar on the total number of the various turrets surviving today?

Cheers

Cees
