Here is a AA Gun and some others to follow along with a Massive Mortar.

 

FWIW the AA Gun is a 1950s Belgian Army contract Bofors gun... Still has the Belgian Army data plate....

 

Wonder when they are going to remove the dataplate as they did with their 1945! D-Day used Waco Glider..... :lol:

 

Nice pictures, keep'm coming
