1918 built example of the British anti-aircraft gun, used on static pedestal emplacements or on the back of Peerless lorries, or sometimes on towed trailers (such as a two wheeled trailer and towed by a Royal Navy Fiat in the defence of London in WW1)

Is that in the Woolwich Arsenal museum?

The gun remained in use into WW2, because it was much more mobile than the 3.7".
 
Hi Tony, it is, yes - all of the photos of British artillery I have posted (apart from the 2.75 inch mountain gun) are at Woolwich
