Crew details via Sgt Steve Stephens:
Sergeant 'Jock' Todd (rear gunner) was in charge of the twin 0.5 machine guns in the tail, a permanent fit in the aeroplane's standard configuration. The two front guns seen in the photograph were installed for the Mau Mau campaign and operated only in elevation by the navigator plotter. Apart from keeping a look-out astern the gunner had little else to do.
