Beaufighter loadout

[phatzo]

when the Beau changed from 60 round drums to belt feed for the hispano cannons. Does anyone know how many rounds the belt contained??????

 

[Glider]

They were changed to a belt fed system that allowed for 240 rpg. Later the wing guns were often removed and either replaced with an extra 75 gallons of fuel, or to allow rocket firing. Later production MkX had the ammunition altered again to 283 rpg.


Hope this helps
