Hey Matt.
That isn't a .50 cai....It's a Boys Anti tank rifle ( .55 cal ).
This is the first photo that I have ever seen of an Aussie carrier with a Boys mounted in the gunners port.
...And this after I told Ray Carn that they were never mounted in the gunners port on Australia carriers. There is a specific Aust. carrier mount for Boys, but it mounts the rifle on the side armour. So I don't actually know how they have managed to mount this gun.
Is there a specific mount for the Boys in a British/Canadian carrier? ( as in, fits into the vickers mount position )
