That 4-inch gun was retrieved from a private owner who had it in his yard, visible from a bus, as you went up the hill to St Lukes in Cork.

[QUOTE=na grohmitÃ;454671]Hammond lane had more respect for our equipment than we did. For many years there was a 4 inch gun from the corvettes guarding the Gate at their Cork yard. Thankfully it never made it to the cutting torch and is now safely back either in the Main Square in Haulbowline or Spike.[/QUOTE
Not sure about that one. That Four Inch came out of the gunnery bay where it had been used as a trainer alongside the 2pdr Pom Pom that went to Canada and a twin Oerlikon mount along with 40mm L/60 bofors training rig and a couple of Oerlikon mounts, the 12 ponder on the square came from the same location.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe
