This page is concerned with the WW2 "Twin Six" coast defence mounting, consisting of two manually-loaded 6pr 10cwt guns (57 x 464R ammo). Most famous for a successful defence of Grand Harbour, Malta, against a night-time attack by Italian MTBs in WW2. The video included on the page shows the gun crew at work in a rapid-fire practice - well worth a look!
