Yes, we can do that sort of thing. Its good fun but all according to how much you fire it can work out to be expensive.

Visited your bunker last June, it was like walking into heaven for me lol, amazing.
Any chance you have a 34/42 available to fire? If so could you pm me some detail/cost etc, I'd chop my arm off for the chance!.

Always makes me chuckle, the scene in " A Bridge Too Far " when the guy offers Roy Urquhart ( Sean Connery ) a cup of tea, I cant remember the exact words, its when the lunatics are laughing at them from the woods, his jeeps have crash landed in Gliders and the radio dont work ! lol

Here ya go Terry, brew's up !! haha
The defences are all around the Island ( Jersey ) I guess where ever Hitler thought we may launch landing offences, so beaches and bays and such like. Even the old Castles are fortified, such as Elizabeth Castle, and Mont Orgueil Castle in Gorey, I would post pictures but don’t want to highjack D's thread.
Guernsey was also fortified, as was Alderney which was the most heavily fortified island due to its proximity to France
There are also defences left over from the Napoleonic wars, mainly the Martello towers
