For what it's worth,I know of two AA guns on wheels here in the Montreal area,that is,if they're still there.One is/was in front of the city of Montreal East legion,and the other was at the City of Lasalle marina on the waterfront of the St.Lawrence river.I'll ask a friend who lives in Lasalle to see if it's still there.There was also one in front of the old Dorval legion but it disappeared when the legion moved to new digs by Dorval airport

Default AA guns at the airport

You have to love the idea of the old soldiers manning their Bofors gun because the 747s at Dorval airport are rattling the beer bottles of the shelves. "maudit avions!"

Default Doval AA gun

The AA gun that was in front of the old Legion building in Doval was a 3.7in. I use to drive by it every day on my way to my old job. Dose anyone know where the 3.7 in AA gun was moved to?
