No, I was thinking of fuselage mounted barbettes. Although I think youre right with the Windsor, I'm sure a trial installation was made on one of the pressurised jobs, because the fusealge was otherwise unpressurised.

Could this be the one at the bottom of the page on this link with an 'S' type turret fitted to a Mk II?
