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.

Rick,

Found the tread on Fylingdales range.

I'm sorry to hear the turret is gone. Here's hoping it ended up in someone's barn - better for it to be tucked away than chucked in the scrap bin

I also hope it has been saved but the truth is it probably got taken to the nearest scrap yard
I have to work faster to save this stuff, don't seem to be having much luck lately.

Default Model 1936 "Dutchman"

That site has not tagged this as such, but this is a Model 1936 for the Dutch order - read more about the "Dutchman" in use with the Netherlands East Indies here.
