Joris Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Great pics indeed! I've looked at this thread before but forgot to reply since I immediately switched to Google Earth to see what it looks like there! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yep - have to agree. Bloody good set of snaps. Never been there - the guns look really impressive. Ta. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan turner (RIP) Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 The RA Museum Firepower had a 100 year old 9.2" Coastal defence gun from Gibtaltar installed last week on the Clavell square on the river side of the museum weighs in at over 40 tons in all ttok all day but well worth the effort and generosity of Barclay Homes, to whom it will be on loan.

Simon Daymond Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) I'm sure I saw a picture of this (or similar gun) in a B&W picture, (on Gibraltar) on another site, I'll see if I can find the link. We missed most of the rock, as I didn't realise that most of the roads were one-way, and to get back to the bits at the top, we had to drive off the rock, into the town and back around. We'll go next time Edited February 26, 2010 by Simon Daymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Signals Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Here's a few more guns that Simon either didn't see or include. Parsons Lodge Battery Guns at Parsons Lodge The 100 ton gun at Napier of Magdala Battery For those who think we are a bit hard on terrorists 9.2 on Lord Aireys Battery View from the gun shutter 9.2 breech name plaque on the battery view towards (O Hara's Battery?) The Malta 100 ton gun for comparison The 9.2 removed from Gib and now at Duxford, so you dont need to go all that way to see one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan turner (RIP) Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Pics 2/3&10 Armstrong bottle guns possible built in woolwich and the 9.2" guns all seem to be the same type and date as the one that was installed last week at Firepower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
