40 mm Bofors AA guns made in GB and US

[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

Thank You Tony. Never saw such a Searchlight before.

Here is an interesting piece. The gun carriage is MK I. The gun could also be an updated MK I (1937 type).

Anyhow the 1944 type "Stiffkey-Stick" sights and the shields have been added later.

To the left a S.C.R. 584 Automatic Gunlaying Radar - one of the 165 supplied to GB from USA in 1944 to counter the German V-missiles attack.

During June - September 1944 the AA was able to shoot down approx 1.550 V-missiles = 65%. The record was 68 shot down on one single day.
