Vickers Warwick top turret

[ACResearcher]

What turret was used on the Warwick for the rear dorsal position and what were its armament and characteristics? I'm also looking for good quality drawings (side view) and photos from which I can draw my own representation.

Thanks in advance.

I hope this can help you: Vickers Warwick maintenance manual

I know in one of the pics it says "FN 7", but from what I can see I really think it's a Nash & Thompson FN50.

Looks like you are right, British Aircraft Armament Vol 1 says FN50

That's very odd. The caption sort of implies that the 'taboo track' for the FN 50 made the FN 7's cover plates unnecessary.

Perhaps the FN 7 was in the original plan. But, as on Manchester, the cramped FN 7 was eclipsed by the superior FN 50?

Thanks to all for your help!
