BIG gun at Suffield

I last saw that barrel in about 1980, I was installing lightning protection wiring on a new ammo dump building in the middle of the block. Everything on the building except the lightning protection was built, installed by the Royal Engineers. They would show up about 10.30, work until 12.30 or 1pm when their hot meals would show up in a Land rover and trailer.

They would eat, lay around and Digest for half an hour, then clean up tools and go back to barracks. They were a great bunch of guys, but not very motivated!
