That's the gun to the left rear Lynn. The shielded gun is the one in the right foreground by the tanks and I think it is a 37mm bofors

Thank you very much for sharing.
A terrific look back.
Imagine a councils reaction to a yard like that these days!

My favorite is the stuart with a grant turret and who knows what gun. Lovely.
