Oh, brilliant! Loads of excellent stuff to see there. Especially like the C.A.S. Emplacements...not so many of those around these days.
That's quite a large battery in the pic where you're walking around the surround. It looks similar to a 6Pdr, but presumably that was for a larger size gun...maybe our own AA Guns, or not?
Cheers :)
