hanno I went to look for the turret but had no luck and no locals knew of it so might have been a wild goose chase although the farmer told me of a bofors next to a river nearby but that had also gone in the last couple of years
I did find the remains of a Cromwell on a range nearby but only just enough to fill 2 shopping bags ! the chunk of steel is the mantlet with a piece of bronze cradle still bolted to it.
