Hi Jos

It is a Vickers but not a 7.5cm Flak M35(h) but a Danish 75 mm L/49 Luftværnskanon M.1932 a.k.a. 7.5 cm Flak M32(d).
The turn-ups on the trousers of the gunners indicates they are Danes. If you look at the sighting arrangement the M32(d) has a prism sight as well as follow the pointer sights, where as the M35(h) has only follow the pointer sights.

It is the first photo I have seen where the Danish gunners are not wearing their soup bowl shaped helments, thats the normal clue to the guns owners.

Hi Jos

The Vickers photographic records state it is Turkish http://www.dockmuseum.org.uk/archive/de ... =Field+Gun
I am not sure if the Lithuanian guns had spoked wheels as well.
The Turks also had some with a soild wheel.
The Romanian's had a different design of solid wheel.

Edit, The Danes used the same design of wheel as in the photo. http://www.chakoten.dk/cgi-bin/fm.cgi?lang=dk&n=264

Hi Jos

I think it could well be a Dutch Vickers 75mm. It does not seem to have the prism sights that would be found on a Danish or Lithuaian gun.

Sorry Jos. I had a change of mind. I was going to post yesterday that your latest pictures were part of a series that the ebay seller had placed in a MaFla in Latvia.

Based on the type of vegetation on the left, the 7,5 cm Vickers above could be located in the same area as the guns in the pictures below: :idea:
