Thanks for the pics, Nik. After careful examination I have two observations. 1) You look remarkably like your avatar; and 2) GF Mark 1 is obviously slumming. [:'(][:D]

Thanks a for sharing my friend.

My main observation was how beefy you are and that you must have struggled through those 'vent's[:'(]

Or the vents are a lot larger than they look in the pictures...

Doubt he's heard of that. Far too European for him. He has probably heard of a Black Hole though[;)]

Hi, That is Blooregard Q. Kazoo from "Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends" (Cartoon Network) (I have 3 nephews)

Blooregard "Bloo" Q. Kazoo: Being a burden is great. It's like my... seventh favorite thing to be.

We are planning a return excursion to Fort Casey, #3 fort in the "Triange of Death" that protected Puget Sound. Two 10in disapearing guns from the Phillipine islands have been rescued and restored there. Plan on gettting some quality pics of them.

At least i fit. Had you been there a Park Ranger and a tow truck would probably have been required to unplug you.

You got me pardner. I mean who wouldn't be jealous about squashing themselves into large spaces[:'(]

I'm just a bit miffed I hadn't got my Digital Camera when I went to Gallipoli. The topic on it the other day reminded me of how annoyed I am about not being able to post them pics on here.

I still think it would be great if there was some way all of the 'picture topics' could be stickied for future viewing pleasure.

P.S. Nik's a Jap Fanboy who's god damn broke those Oscars. What on earth are they doing shooting stuff down.......

The Oscar didn't have a defective propellor.

Very cool... Those mortars, how big were they?

As mentioned, usually 12 inch. Here's a vintage photo of one in a similar casemate battery (a square of four abutted on three sides by high concrete walls)

Roger thought that could be a reason.

Can't be right though since we all know the AVG had a kill ration of 100:1 against them........not in our game
