Does anyone know if the back up ring and bead gun sights were removed during service from RNZAF Warhawks? It seems from some photos I've found on the net and in books that the rear ring part has been removed on some of the N model RNZAF P-40 aircraft. However I can't find a good enough quality photo to be really sure.

I've looked at many wartime photos of P40's and I don't believe the later 'n's with the new style canopy had them. The 'm's and the earlier 'n's with the older style canopy did. I have seen a video on Utube of a later 'n' that was involved in a training collision during the war. It crashed into a lake somewhere in the USA but has been retrieved. They are trying to restore it for static display. It has the rear ring part. That's the only one I've seen.
