The Boulton-Paul Defiant doesn't have the rear turret design that I've come to expect.

Mudge the curious :?

Great pictures!

That Bell L-39 looks like it's got swept wings. Kinda strange. I'd love to see more pictures of that.

Cheers,

David

It did and fixed main landing gear but it was actually based on the P-63, not P-39. It was a Navy contract.
Provided test info on swept wings IIRC.

Mudge:

The Defiant pictured is a target tug. The turret area has been converted over to the operators station. You can see some other "related" bits and pieces on the photo.
