Quite. But maybe the RAF wasn't quite so silly - don't believe everything you read in Wikipedia... The fixed Browning was in the starboard wing and under the pilot's control; the gunner had a K with which he could do what he fancied. (According to several sources on the 'net which of course are no more reliable than Wikipedia, but at least they make sense.)
