Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: An Allan-Williams Turret located on the Norfolk Coast Path near the village of Cley next the Sea, Norfolk, England. These are World War II metal turrets, which could be rotated through a full 360 degrees, set above a steel and brick-lined pit. They were designed for all types of light machine gun to be fired either through the front loophole which was further protected by shutters, or through the circular opening in the roof in a light anti-aircraft role. It could also be armed with the Boys anti-tank rifle. The army did not favour the design; most were installed at airfields. Nearly 200 Allan-Williams Turrets were made and installed, salvaging of the metal after the war means that today very few remain. |
