More about the US Navy Patrol Squadron VP-63 at RAF Pembroke Dock
VP-63 - Madcats at PD in '43 (Part 3)
The third part of the video, shows United States Navy sailors re-arming a PBY-5. They are shown installing the nose and blister guns, as well as belts and boxes of ammunition. The aircraft is also armed with rockets on under-wing racks.
The rockets seem to be versions of the lower example in the diagram below. I am sure those better informed than me will put me straight!
It just occurred to me that I did not explain why VP-63 was known as "The Madcats". I will post about this later!!
