I'm the webmaster for www.bphs.net which is a historical record of the Baker Perkins engineering group. One of the subsidiary companies was Rose Brothers in Gainsborough who during WW2 built gun turrets for Hampdens and Lancasters (see http://www.bphs.net/GroupFacilities/R/RoseBrothersGainsborough/index.htm#8).

We know that Rose Brothers were involved in building equipment for the Lancasters involved in the Dambusters raid, but we do not have any details. Can any of you shine any light on the matter?

We are grateful for any and all information received.

Kind regards,
James Preston
