Can anyone direct me to the MLU thread that has a photo of a restored 3.7in mobile AA gun being towed by an gun crew truck?. I believe that it was posted by a Scotsman

The post I referred to was not on the MLU forum but on :-

I should have recalled that the towing vehicle for this fine restoration was a Matador. I served in a British HAA Regt RA (1950-1952) and we hauled our mobile 3.7's from Gravesend, Kent to Sennybridge nr Brecon in Wales to attend the annual practice firing camp, where the 3.7in AA guns were fired in a field artillery role. The rest of the year we trained and deployed to permanent gunsites as part of ADGB

The Matador and 3.7 belong to a guy called John Webbster,he bought the gun from a good friend of mine who did a nut and bolt restoration,it was absolutely perfect when he finished it.this gun came in with the same batch as my 3.7 from Portugal.
