• ... that Air Marshal Arthur Harris regarded the Rose turret (pictured) as being the only improvement made to the defensive armament of the RAF's heavy bombers between 1942 and the end of World War II?

• ALT1:... that each of the 400 Rose turrets (pictured) produced for the Royal Air Force's Lancaster bombers during World War II was hand-made by a small company in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire?
• Reviewed: Bedroom at Arles
• Comment: I prefer the first option, but ALT1 is shorter and snappier. I'm happy to go with whatever the reviewing editor and/or DYK updater prefers. Nick-D (talk) 10:58, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
