The gunning position on top of the aircraft:
The top hatch was open, so I stood up and peeked out for a little!
Walking further forward, I got to the cockpit and both nose compartments (gunning & bombing). On the cockpit photo you can see the access way to the nose in the lower right corner. On the side there is a foldable chair to enable a second piloting position.
Shooting the right wing from the open cockpit window:
In the middle of the plane, you could find these boxes with transport belts for ammunition. These lead all the way to the back, to supply ammo for the rear gunning position.
The departure:
Obligatory B&W
Flyby over the platform!!!
