Identify this
 

I was recently flying around Deal in Kent, and was traveling along the coastline when I found this.

Its a cannon obviously, a little charred. Any known history on this?

I saw that one too.
Dunno what it is, but I will try to make it look like dkwookies sheep during the weekend.

its not winnie or pooh?the channel guns ,id be impressed if it was

i'm with dave...channel gun for shipping or AA. there was a documentary on 2 guys digging around an old RAF airfield. they came up with a couple gun emplacements.....same, same??

You will fond it some few miles up the valley from dover. On the westernside. A bit far from the channel to be a channel gun.

ok....Bofors 40mm AA. did a quickie search and came up with these. close enough for government work.

Go look at it in game. Just follow the coast north untill you see a black dot. Its not directly on the shore, about 5 B-17s away. This gun is burned and ruined, and has a breach. There is only one. It seems to small to be a coastal gun. It looks like a 76mm anti tank gun.

My pick is this is a howlitzer 105 MM

in 1940 we only had 2 guns capable of hitting france ,they were 14.5 inch
they would of been in the dover area,they took out a german channel gun in france, aa gun sites were in fours or eights,in 1940 mostly 4.5 inch
pic 1 is whinnie ,pic 2 is a heavy aa site in essex with 8 emplacements i visited last year,still with wooden ammo racking(pic3)

It could be a M114 but I doubt it. Its bullet shield and its long barrel, not likely to be a howitzer. I think it might be a QF 6. Did they think they could seriously hit a ship from that distance with that?
