Permalink   


6" 30cwt 1902 howitzer.

Sights on piece next to it 6 inch 26 cwt (H/T "Rob"!)

French 75mm

18pdr.

 

9.2" coastal gun. I'll put it here, as I assume it's WW1-ish vintage! Found in a scrapyard in Gibralter!

The photo of the gun with the sights next to the 6 inch 30 cwt is a 6 inch 26 cwt weapon

There's an ex-Gibraltar 9.2" at Duxford, from the Spur Battery IIRC. When I was last there, you couldn't get close enough for a decent set of photos - anyone know how one goes about getting special permission to get in to it for one?

 

(originally had this as a 9'2" - A TOUCH OVERESTIMATED.)
