Thanks for that Sandgroper............Brings back memories of the 1960s. Believe me, if I was wealthy I would have had one years ago, always knew you could get them on a FAC. :)
The fact it comes with a load of blanks makes me wonder if it was the One O'Clock gun that used to be at Edinburgh Castle, they have replaced it with a 105mm Pack Howitzer I believe.
Would be a bit dear to run though. From memory it takes about 3Lb of Cordite a shot, and that's not mentioning hiring Salisbury Plain for a day to fire it. :lol:
Here's a Photo of the last time I sat on one.......It was 2005 in the Canadian War museum Ottawa. :lol:
