Happy Easter to you all, the second Bofors I have in my collection is a 1938 Swedish Gun which were supplied to the War office during the build up to the war .These Guns were far superior in quality to the mass produced Bofors that the British and Canadian manufactured on demand.
I recently supplied my Gun to Tallis pictures who were responsible for making the movie 'ATONEMENT' where they recreated the Dunkirk evacuations.
The set location was Redcar ,Cleveland only 30 miles from where I live so it was quite convenient.
Redcar is a seaside town that has a very similar sky line to Dunkirk with industrial factories as the back drop so it was the ideal location for the recreation of the beach recovery of thousands of British and French troops.
attached are a few pics of the my Bofors on set and an original picture of Dunkirk.
