One of the exhibits inside the tank at Lyness. Not sure what type it is, but my military training (from Commando books) suggests that it is an anti-aircraft gun.

My equally military training from similar sources (may include Wizard, Hotspur and Victor comics in addition to Commando books) suggests a 40mm Bofors AA gun.

A Bofors gun. My dad was one of the crew that manned such a gun during WW2 while stationed at Orkney. We took him back in 2011, his first visit since 1945. Have a photo if anyone interested.
