Sorry little hard to read but some may find it interesting on a Halifax III cutaway from the Halifax manual.

I'm curious about the 4x.303 turrets. Any records to indicate they were any more/less effective than a 2x.50?
 
Nice one Micdrow takes me back to the "Lion" comics of my youth, every week an new cutout drawing.

It was standard defensive armament in British bombers Wellingtons, Stirling, Halifax and Lancasters.

Later in the war twin .5 did replace the 4 x .303 in the rear turrets and they also appeared in the mid upper turrets as did 20mm canons.
