I am trying to find information regarding the three Avro Anson modifications in the boxes below. Any help, documents or possible sources of documents, would be appreciated. Equally useful would be any RAF or RAAF or RCAF documents on these mods.

Two photos of the one and only RCAF Anson with the Bristol turret (exact same Mk IV turret as on the Bolingbroke)

It is interesting it used an electrically powered hydraulic pump. I guess the Anson had no engine driven hydraulic pump. The Bolingbroke has a primitive engine driven pump on the left engine in addition to the hand actuated emergency pump along the cockpit centerline.
