re .500 Bore Machine Guns for Aircraft.

During a visit to the South last week-end we were able to discover that the Air Ministry's latest arrangement drawing of the .500 in. Browning Machine Gun is AD.14125. We saw a blueprint of the drawing, and it is obviously what you require. The firing unit is on the side.

Possibly you could acquire a print of this drawing.
