Hi,
Pictures of this system a quite rare so I thought it appropriate to share these, which Kurt was kind enough to share with me a while back.
Location is Asselins north of Digulleville. The radar was possibly mounted on a 206, correction or V 256.

Hi Dirk,
The drawing you posted is of the V 143, do you have a drawing of the Mammut Gustav bunker as well?

Thanks a lot I simply could not understand the proximity Gustav to the Mammut, but that explains it.
