Bofors AA

 






The boy had a holiday job down in Hedge End today, so we dropped him off and then went for a dog walk down by the Solent. There I found an unexpected Bofors AA gun, which had been positioned to cover the oil refinery opposite. It's not in the original location or even the correct version, but a nice surprise on a dog walk nonetheless!

  1. I did not know that this was in Hamble. My dad lived across the river in Warsash

  2. Bofors L70 by the look of it.
    Your walkaround photos are very useful as I have to convert some earlier versions to L70 for the IDF in 1967.
