Yeah it is. I've always wanted to get in when they're around with "9O9", but I'm too tall they say and won't fit.

You see, it was the little short guys back in WWII that were made ball turret gunners.

£248, you'd get to stay on the ground but still experience the rear turret.

But you'd miss the ride of a lifetime Jim.... tho not neccessarily in a turret. But I can say the Bombardier's seat gives a very spectacular view.
