re the following a/c Halifax DT575 MP-Y 76 sqn,Linton-On-Ouse...does anyone know if there is a photo of her? Also According to Halifax file she was a B/GRII built at English Electric. can anyone post a shot of one and is it the one with the front turret?
Sorry but us avro683 chaps find all this confusing!

Hi Peter,

It is not only confusing for AVRO683 types, I think.

But there is a photograph of DT501 on page 53 of the Halifax File, which was built in the same timespan but in a batch preceding that of DT575. This show the aircraft with a noseturret and the earlier style rudders. Later aircraft in the DT-serial such as DT727 range had the Tollerton fairing for instance.

Hope this helps a bit

Cheers
