Nice one Ted! What's the story on those rear guns, are they radar guided? Late on in the war bomber command were trialling such developments, wondered if the LW were doing the same?
The rear guns were controlled by the use of a joy stick under the radio operator's command. The plane had two periscopes that were used to cover the upper and lower areas of the plane. They had versions were the rear gun was a manned station, but this was dropped in favor of this remote controlled version.
