B-17 ball turret restoration project available
Wed Apr 16, 2014 3:18 pm
Good day,
As we have in this forum quite a few turret specialists/restorers/collectors, thought this might be of interest.
A quite restorable B-17 ball turret recently turned up in the Netherlands (either from scrapyard or farmer) and has been offered for sale. The photo below (shamelessly taken from the "other forum") was taken end March at a UK aerojumble. My understanding is that the turret wasn't sold.
As there must be very few such projects available, this one could be anunique chance.
Best,
Laurent

That looks like more of a B-24 set-up to me. Any link to the ad available ?

Is that a B-24 nose?
