Rose Brothers Type R Gun Turret

Aircraft & Exhibits, Circa 1945-Circa 1950, London, Hangar Five, 73/O/403

The Rose Turret was fitted with two .5in. / 12.7mm Browning Heavy Machine Guns instead of the rifle calibre .303in. / 7.7mm versions which had been the standard armament for turrets during most of the war. When introduced in July 1944, they enabled gunners to engage enemy fighters with greater force and at longer range.
