Les,
This C9/B is now in the Firepower Museum at Woolwich. It was for many years outside the Royal Artillery museum at the Rotunda, and I undertook some work on it to get it in running order whilst at the REME workshops in the early '90's. Before it was put in the Firepower museum, it was refurbished again and I believe the gun was changed for the correct type as on its initial restoration, it appears that it had a naval Bofors fitted.
