Hi, Correct the "37mm photos", actually show trials of a 20mm cannon with a belt feed. The 37mm cannon reference seems to have originated from old westland info,I personally wonder if at one time there was a project to fit the 37mm cannon of the type used in the P-39, and the "37mm photo" has wrongly been associated with it " The 40mm cannon nose,I think it was to be a two cannon with two mg for aiming,my files are packed at the moment, the contract was issued but was cancelled. As you say peregrines in service mid '40 and still going late '43, hardly a failure. cheers Jerry
