Anyone know what became of the three 16in (?) guns that were left lying on the beach at the South Eastern end of the island. Rumour had it, in 1970, that they had been positioned to provide sea defences for Force H/Port T and guard the channel into the anchorage during the war, and had been left there and the turret blown up because it was too difficult to remove them. Certainly still there at the end of '72.
