  • Admiral Brown Society and the rotting gun turret!

    Originally posted by danno View Post
    A couple of years ago I visited the museum in Foxford which had a lot of exhibits and info re Admiral Brown. However in the yard were a 4.5 deck gun in a turret plus a neutered torpedoe and other items donated by the Argentenian Navy,they were out in the open rusting/rotting away I hope they have since been restored and put on proper display
    Anyone know what happened to this gun turret?

    It was i assume part of the Admiral Brown Society museum?

    Was it left rusting in the park?

    i came across a photo of it from 2006 and danno's comment above is from 2010....

    "He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
    "No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."
