Bofors 40mm luchtafweerkanon

This Bofors 40mm anti aircraft gun is located opposite Café Gondree.

In 2014 this Bofors replaced a Centaur Tank of the Royal Marines used for in-direct fire from landing craft on D-Day. This tank has been restored and can be seen in the Memorial Pegasus park on the opposite side of the bridge.
