ive always wondered how they remove that chin turret?
I don't think she had a chin turret when she made Memphis Belle. I think it was fitted after. If you ever watched the TV show We'll meet again, Sally B had no turret when she made that show, the space was blanked off. She was also in a polished metal finish in those days.
I took a close-up of Sally B's nose at the Farnborough 1996 show. Can't remember if she had the chin turret then. I shall look out the photo & scan it when I have a moment.
She's had it since the making of the 'Belle (it was taken off for the Belle and subsequently refiited...). I can confirm it was definately there because at Biggin Hill that year I had to ask someone to stop their child hanging from the guns...
You're quite correct - as usual.Like a bloomin' walkin' encyclopaedia.
