Japanese
Anti-Aircraft Gun
One Japanese AA
gun found by Army Museum Team which it was lying at the same site 60 years
ago
Army Museum team found this AA gun lying at Penang Island. This gun was located
in a hill nearby some airfield. We dont know how this gun get there but some
folks told us that it was supposed to protect the airfield. From our
observation, it was clearly shown that this gun have some good views of all
surrounding areas. From the hill, it can fired any low level aircraft which
want to bomb or strafed the airfield.
When
museum team found the gun, it was broke off from the platform and rolled
down 20 metres downhill. So far, some research and site investigation, did
not found any relics nearby.
This
gun was recovered and send to Army Museum for restoration.
