Very nice work Rob.
After blasting off some gunpowder at the castle yesterday we started talking about ordnance on site. One of the managers said she had gone through some old files this past week and found a letter about a gun. When I read it I immediately thought about this thread.
Apparantly Dover Castle had a pheasant sitting here for a number of years. No one currently knows its fate so will have to put on my Sherlock hat. The curators only work weekdays so I will be contacting them next week to see if they have the data plates.
Enclosed is a copy of the letter, names redacted to protect the innocent.
