Quite interesting photo Kurt!
Did you know that the mounting used for the MG on your photo came from a French Breguet 19 aircraft??
Here`s another one from "Tobrouks typologie" By Alain Chazette - ISBN 2-9516102-6-2
(Nice booklet with lots of interesting photos )

Hello Erik.
No, did not know that !
There must have been thousands of "localy modyfications" for mounting all these different types of weapons ?

"Tobruk" - is a nickname - i think because it was first buildt / in use in Tobruk ( The Town ).CHRISCHA wrote:Erik, are you sure that photo was taken in Tobruk?
