Description
English: British QF 3 inch 20 cwt anti-aircraft gun and Imperial Russian 75 mm model 1892 Canet gun on 152 mm naval howitzer carriage in Kuivasaari. Britain donated 24 QF 3 inch 20 cwt guns to Finland during Winter War, and they were used as coastal guns after World War 2. 75 mm Canet on howitzer carriage could be used as anti-aircraft gun, and eight guns were modified in Finland to fire 76 mm Bofors shells.
Suomi: Englantilainen 76 ItK 16 Vickers ilmatorjuntatykki ja 75/50 OH eli 75 mm:n 50 kaliiperin Canet Obuhovin merihaupitsilavetilla. Englanti lahjoitti suomelle 24 QF 3 inch 20 cwt tykkiä talvisodassa, ja niitä käytettiin sotien jälkeen vielä rannikkotykkeinä. Merihaupitsilavetilla ollutta 75 mm Canet tykkiä voitiin käyttää myös ilma-ammuntaan, ja kahdeksan tykkiä muutettiin suomessa ampumaan 76 mm Boforsin ammuksia.
