As part of an earlier thread (in the Hangar), wanted to break out the non - aviation stuff.

This is from the Highland Lakes Squadron of the CAF.

The howitzer in front still has the aiming mechanism attached - very rare! All I'd need would be the Gunner's Quadrant and I'd be good to go. 8)

Hopefully the first round will blow out the plug in the barrel otherwise you will look like Elmer Fudd when Bugs shoves a carrot in the barrel of is rifle. :lol:
