Quadruple gun mounting in 24 Shop, Elswick Works

• Iain said:

  This must be for a King George V-class battleship, the only British battleships in World War II to mount quadruple turrets.

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  Thanks Iain. Strangely enough my colleague, Colin, said exactly the same thing just moments before your comment arrived.

• optimal chicken said:

  It's massive - look where the barrel fits in and a man is stood there..

• Billy Embleton said:

  Its one of King George V's turrets which was lead ship of the class that was built at Walker Naval yard (below). Mounting 10 of these 14 inch guns. These quadruple mounts were very complex.
  
  These very guns contributed to the sinking of the KMS Bismark in May 1941.

  Jack Hilliard (back to camera, closest in pic) has a beer distribution company in Temple TX, hence the Budweiser mugs. As of 2023 the compnay is still in business. Jack's disposition is not known.
