Username Wrote:I tend to think the Liberator has more potential as a Halifax. It hasn't got the mid upper turret but maybe the ball turret could be positioned there instead? The shoulder mounted wings would need to be moved to a mid-mounted position and the cowlings replaced with Hercules as above. That would be about it. :wink:

Quote: 29, 1944 37 Lancasters - 18 from No 9 Squadron, 18 from No 617 and a film unit aircraft from No 463 Squadron - were dispatched from Lossiemouth in Scotland to bomb the Tirpitz moored near the Norwegian port of Tromso. The removal of the Lancasters' mid-upper turrets and other equipment and the installation of extra fuel tanks, giving each aircraft a total fuel capacity of 2,406 gallons, allowed the Lancasters to carry out this 2,250 mile operation.
