Beaufighter: why isn't the rear observer position usable?

[_RAAF_Firestorm]

Indeed, how very, very true!

Another thread comes to a civil, happy end. There was mystique, drama and intrigue, a climax that was worth the toil... and in the end, we are left with renewed hope and the possibility of a sequel.

I'm heading off with a smile, to pour myself a glass of red. I plan to sip it slowly while standing on the back deck, staring at the sunset.

Thanks Ivan.
