Sounds like 'coals to Newcastle'.

Mike,
I believe that Australian 25-pdr was sold at the Pickles auction of equipment from the Newcastle (NSW) Regional Museum in March 1997.
I was present at the auction and am sure it was bought by a UK dealer along with some other lots.
Actually it was coals from Newcastle!!!
regards, Richard
