Trevor Crook Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Steve Re. the SE5A - it also had a fuselage mounted Vickers gun that did use the interruptor gear. The Lewis fired above the prop arc from a remote trigger, but could also be pulled back and aimed upwards for sneaky attacks from below. Changing the ammo drum could also be performed, although this would have been challenging to say the least in a 100mph breeze! Apologies if you knew all this already.

Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I did know that the SE5 had front mounted Vickers guns but only after the program so thanks Trevor.....before that I thought the Lewis gun was the only weapon it carried & could never understand why since the interuptor gear had been around for a while.... As you observe changing the ammo drum in the breeze would have been interesting..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
