Another view of the Battle u/c: the retraction rams folded backwards with the wheels, which themselves remained mostly below the wing to give protection in a belly landing, and because the wing was not deep enough to house them. Exterior bomb racks are also visible. (Plt Off M H Roth of 142 Sqn formates on my father’s aircraft, Andover 1938. Roth was shot down on May 10 1940 while attacking German columns and taken POW, ending up in Stalag Luft III with Rupert Parkhouse.)
