Is that owned by Reg Gibson?
I wonder what happened to the other nine Walker Bulldogs that our Army had. I assume the Army Museum has at least one of them?

Interesting, I had never heard of that place. Did they have Air Force items as well as Army?
There are a lot of these private collections around, some as good as museums, that no-one from the general public ever gets to see.

Don't let Jacinda see it... she'll insist on it going in to the next gun buyback!   |

Lucky the 76mm is definitely only semi automatic  Although you could have 3-4 HE rounds in the air before the first hit when firing plus of 4000m. I'm not sure of the current rules but at one time these vehicles did require a collectors endorsement to fire arms licence as they are designed to mount restricted weapons. |
