This has been digitized by myself. I recorded it straight from a record player and then cleaned up the audio as much as possible as there was a good amount of background noise. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together!...

In December 1939 two sites were chosen for two boom defence twin 6 pdr 10cwt guns, one at Dudley Point and one at West Point.
