Good sites, very interesting. The Windsor was known as the Vickers Windsor though - perhaps it was built at Shorts?

I've not seen a Liberator such as that before. What mark, and what deployment. Over to you Eric.

It's a Liberator VI from 37 Squadron, operating in the Middle East during WWII.

I didn't spend too long looking at the pictures so I'm not sure which Lib' people are discussing.

Odd front turret. Must be a modified "J".

I've always had an interest in Liberators. During the war one crashed near the village where I grew up, whilst on Leigh Light trials out of Boscombe Down. I scavenged quite a few interesting bits and bobs from the crash site - parts of radio set and such, a badly corroded cylinder head. Knowing that the pilot did not to survive, and his body never found, made the whole expedition rather scary and I always felt a bit guilty about it.

One day I found my collection of Liberator bits had been thrown away.
