When configured as tankers, the A-7s were pretty much that, if a lot of refuelling is expected then they had extra tanks: if you want to add a buddy pod and weapons, A-6s would carry a pod and other ordnance. Jari

Vickers Wellesley Ordnance Panniers - Internal Detail
Finn replied to Dunny's topic in Aircraft WWII
If you check the 3:41 mark of the video above you can see the rivet pattern on the door showing where internal supports are, they look like equal spacing. There are some on the body of the pannier as well, not many but maybe enough to be TLAR - That's looks about right. Jari -

Vickers Wellesley Ordnance Panniers - Internal Detail
Finn replied to Dunny's topic in Aircraft WWII
No internal view but at the 3:25 mark of this video shows one being loaded with smallest version of SBCs with what looks like 40lb bombs, 4 in each SBC: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1060007648 one view from almost below doesn't show any frame like the Wellington. Jari -
In case you want to go to a larger scale: Jari

408 Sqn. Lancaster B.II EQ*Z "Zombie" (LL725)
Finn replied to Scott Hemsley's topic in Aircraft WWII
From the 408 ORB: https://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_reel_c12275/404 The load for Sortie A.2332 : https://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_reel_c12275/403 has a 8,000lb HC so it had bulged bomb doors. Jari -

So out of the many, many thousands of bombs dropped none went off early? True a vast majority functioned properly but i'm sure there were some, plus the few accidents at airfields where bombs exploded for some reason. In the Vietnam War there were several cases of bombs going off just after release, they only way they knew about it is some of the crew were able to eject, one of the first A-6 Intruders lost was because of a bomb going off early, the crew survived and were able to tell their story.

Here is a load being dropped all at once: the risk being the bombs bouncing off each other and if one is sensitive enough, BOOM, right underneath the aircraft. Jari

Going with a full load can be a tight fit: Jari

Here is another Lancaster with a bunch of bombs: note there isn't any room behind the Cookie for 2 more bombs so 16 would be the max with the Cookie. Jari
