My third cousin was Pilot Officer Arthur Charles Geary, DFC, a wireless operator/air gunner with 211 Squadron on the Blenheim Mk I. I am in the process of writing a short article about his career, that was sadly brief as, before even being able to receive his DFC, he died in the infamous Easter Sunday raid on13 April 1941. He was in the leading Blenheim attacking German troop movements in the Monastir Gap in northern Greece. All six of the formation were destroyed by Bf 109s and only two of the eighteen crew survived.
My question is where the WOP/AG actually sat. On the cutaway by Mike Badrocke:

the gunner's seat is indicated, but did he occupy it (maybe it swivelled?) to access the radio? Or did he have another seat for his WOP duties? Where indeed was the radio and what would the equipment be?
Also, on this same cutaway the turret is equipped with a single 303 Browning. But Wikipedia says that in the Mark I it was a 303 Vickers.
Thanks if you can help.
