Holy shit. That's not a Bofors gun it's a British WW2 era 3.7in AA gun, I've got a thing for old WW2 Heavy anti aircraft sites (HAA) and I've wanted to see one of these for years. Nice one Graybags, guess where I'm going on my next day off?


Another pic of a 3.7.

I wonder how much Wells Reclamation want for that 3.7in gun? I want it.

Yeah I had a look through their website too. It didn't greatly surprise me that the AA gun, missile, and Ferret armoured car aren't advertised since that's not really what the reclamation place is about.

3.7in guns do come up on the market now and again, a gunners association found one and restored it a few years back over in Swansea, if my memory serves me correctly it cost them about £2500?
