I just get info:

Liberator Mk.VI KG907 (served with 102 and 53 Sqn's) on escort duty clearly shows the retractable ASV radome in use, searching for any detection of U-boat activity. The radome and also the GR.Mk.V chin fairing (shown in bottom picture) had considerably less drag effect than earlier forms of radar.

I'm lovng these profiles of the ugly old pig! I say "ugly" and "pig" in an affectionate way as I've grown to like the Liberator over the years. It does look like the discarded packing crate a B-17 would be shipped in, though! :-jump
