Cnock Posted 25 February , 2008 Share Posted 25 February , 2008 Hallo, Does anyone knows where this gun was located, or has this pic been seen before? Regards, Cnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian turner Posted 25 February , 2008 Share Posted 25 February , 2008 Cnock, I cannot answer your query, but I wonder if this was taken at a factory/works? I see the chimney arrangements and sheerlegs behind, and the lifting beam overhead. The men on the gun look to be workers. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 25 February , 2008 Author Share Posted 25 February , 2008 Hi Ian, the chimney arrangements are part of the system for lifting the gun barrel, there are indeed civilians, but also soldiers on the left. Regards, Cnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 25 February , 2008 Author Share Posted 25 February , 2008 this type of lifting beam was always used for getting this heavy navy guns in their emplacement. Cnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
