Oooooh, you lucky, lucky sod!

I'll never discount another 'ww2 equipment buried in tunnel' again.

Guess they're not always myth!

Yes, everything on the hill now belongs to EH. The military now only have the PWRR museum and occasional use of Constable's Tower & St. Mary's Church.

Once the limber is out the conservationists will have a close look at identification and restoration.

Got a closer look at the data plate today. It is a Mk 1/L dated 1942. Box still retains some of it's desert sand paint colour.

Finally got all parties together yesterday and exposed the limber. For having sat outside all these years it wasn't in bad shape. Next task is to move it to dry storage and assess the restoration.
