Location: Royal Australian Artillery National Artillery Museum, North Fort, North Head Sydney NSW

Date: March 2006

Alas this museum is no more, with the exhibits to be relocated to a new facility at Puckapunyal Victoria (eventually).

But in the meantime, we’ve got some useful pics to share.

This particular set is of interest as the gun was displayed without the gunshield, affording unobstructed views of the gun mount.

This is an Australian-made example produced during World War II.
