Hello Jos

Just went through my approx. 1000 photos from Raversijde that i took this summer.

A lot of "old photographs" - but not that one you are talking about, sorry :cry:

I was allowed to take photos inside the bunkers, but not allowed to show them in public. Outside - no restrictions.

The "famous" artillery piece outside have some sort of "rollers" and some sort of mechanisme - but thats not the one you mean - is it?

Regards
Kurt

Hallo

The one Arthur posted seems to be from HKB Landehoven?
If so, I think thats a "one of a kind" which was tailormade to make the K 331(f) fit in the old K 416(f) mountings. So not that representable for the rest of the AW......

The one on top is a 10,5 cm K331(f), the second from a 14,5 cm K405(f),
and here is a 15,5cm sFH 414(f).

Hi

The Schwenkwerk from the 10.5 cm K.331 (f) and the 15.5 cm s.F.H.414 (f)
have a close resemblance , also the one from the 14.5 cm K. 405 (f) lookes
like the one from magazine Fortifikations 20/2006 ( page 96 )
The difference between the 2 Schwenkwerke could be use of the Leichte
Drehbettung ( 10.5 cm K. 331(f) and 15.5 s.F.H. 414 (f) and more ) and the
Schwere Drehbettung for most of the French 15.5 and Russian 12.2 guns ??

Hello

Here a photo of a schwenkwerk of a 15.5. cm (f) gun in Belgiam ,
you can see it took a lot of manpower to rotate the gun .
