9.4 cm Flak M 39 (e) in Holland

[stril]

Hello

Not related, but a 9,4 cm Vickers

.
I was right about one thing..it wasnt related..
As Jos told me it isnt a Vickers, but a 15 cm Tbts KL/45 or UbtsKL/45.

Does anybody know the type of rangefinder seen on Stril's picture ? It looks like a 1.5 m.

Hello

Its not a 1,5 m rangefinder, its bigger. Im sure there are someone here that know what kind it is, but im pretty sure they are too stuffed right now to answer
Anyway, is this a Vickers ? If the info is correct its from Zeebrugge. Picture from one of the auctions sites.

Uto C/16 from the M.K.B. Schutte at the harbourpier at Zeebrugge .

Hi Emmanuel,
Could it be Le Havre??
On the mole.
Greetings Jack.

Le Havre:
Almost but not quite if we look at these pictures from the remains of MKB Südmole.

Cherbourg: it doesn't seem to fit either the Fort (Mole) Central:

See picture from ECPAD in :

And here are pictures of Vickers at MKB Zentralmole. The emplacements look different than on ebay’s pictures:

Hi All,

I found one more interesting photo static version of the 9.4 cm Flak M 39 (e).



Where can this be ???

Alkali

Hi Alkali,
Could it be Le Portel??
Thats near Boulogne.
Greetings Jack.

Hi Alkali and Jack

The photo is been taken in 1940 at Cap de la Heve ,
we think that this is one of the French 9.4 cm that were
used in 1939/1940 please see the post of David Lehmann .

Regards Jos

Here is a picture from ebay.com showing what looks like the same gun as in Alkali's picture if we compare the telephone poles and the building I have circled.

The last picture is from ebay.de and shows one of the 94 mm Vickers guns in Boulogne on May 25, 1940, the last day of the battle for Boulogne.
