Hey David, thinking about the "Rear Turret" thread. Did you ever see the movie "Firefox" with Clint Eastwood?
Remember that by "thinking Russian" Clint could destroy the enemy behind him, I was wondering if a similar movie could be made using the EE Lightning instead, but then I realised, could a foreign agent think like a pom?

You're close, and yes that's a radial engine.
