The BR20 didn't so much make an emergency landing at Woodbridge, more a crash landing in Rendlesham forest, near Woodbridge, after being shot down by Hurricanes.

A-20 Havoc bomber nose sections are being prepped at the Douglas assembly plant in Santa Monica, California. Note the woman doing the work. Without these woman doing this work, we couldn't have won the war. Just a few years prior to this, none of these ladies could have ever imagined they would be doing "a mans work".

This one I find interesting as there don't seem to be any gun ports and yet the front looks as if its just been painted over.

I believe the ports of the latter are in the black area of the shark's mouth thus "unvisible" for us - check under the 5-th tooth, in front of the tongue.

The gun ports have been covered with a fabric patch, so are not visible. This was done because of dust. In the A-20 picture thread elsewhere on this forum are piccies of this gun port covered in fabric prior to firing.
