Thanks, Tony. This is a link I shall re-read several times. The information regarding the MG-FF and FFM is especially interesting.

I have amended the 'Battle of Britain Armament' article to include additional information about the loading of the .303 guns and the selection of the 20mm Hispano.

Question Re: Battle of Britain fighters
Just read on these German bombers with hundreds of bullet holes still flying back home.

Has anyone tried to calculate what the German losses could have been like if the Hispano had worked immediately and all those planes would have been shot down??

The best known example in the books must be the KG 76 D0 17Z with over 200 bullet holes.....
