The B-24 isn't the only ASW aircraft armed with rockets in GWX.

Teehee.

Not quite true. It was convertible. It could carry the 75mm gun and four machine guns; or eight machine guns plus side-packs under the cockpit, for a total of twelve; or a glass bombardier's nose.

For those interested,
These taken at the Mosquito museum just down the road from me, actually its the dehavilland museum.
Its where the 'Mossie' was developed and has a lot of DH aircraft and stuff, there is I'm sure, one of these Tsetse guns there but I didn't take a photo.
Anyhow its really small, without kids who can get into and play pilot in several aircraft, its about 1,5 hrs to see the lot.
Its just off J22 M25, if heading West take the exit, take first left and its half a mile down on the right.
I took a photo of the plaque outside, wrong angle but to get it needed flash and flash in front of stainless = no picture. It did have a prop above it but see the link.

If you've watched 633 Squadron where the little scots fella stands next to the pilot leaning casually on the back of his seat - forget it, there's no room........
