Interesting Tomahawk photos

[Dave Fleming]

Thanks to Mr Haselden, I had an explore round the IWM site for interesting pics. Found these Tomahawk photos.

One of interest is this shot of the Camera installation:

Now this shot of three 26 Squadron ones was useful, as I'm building the Airfix kit as an aircraft from this squadron. It's quite a well known shot, and I'd noticed before that the closest aircraft is in 'mirror image' camouflage with an interestingly proportioned roundel (RM-Y, AH896)

But one I hadn't seen before was this one of the same aircraft banking towards the camera - looks like most of the port wing is painted a single shade of Dark Earth.

Here in the Camera bay open photo on the right ...with a partial closeup photo on the left of the Camera bay door closed... it's a poor photo ...but you can get and idea of the door detail

So it looks like the opening for the camera lens had a raised lip around it but did it have any glass or was it open to the elements?
