    Ju 287. The design with forward-swept wings is easily recognizeable.

    Edit: due to history of this plane, with several different prototypes and later, the evaluation of this airframe by soviets, I need to specify. The plane in image is OKB-1 EF-140, soviet development of Ju-287. It can be recognized by engines.

    And again, I failed to find image of this specific piece, and the mount is...confusing.

    But...it kinda looks like Bofors 40mm/L60.

    It's not a Bofors and it's not a 40mm. This gun was produced in large numbers during ww2.

    At least I eliminated most obvious choice. Let's see if anyone else will guess. I though at first that it looks too large for 37mm, but...maybe it's the perspective.

    I think so too, Flak 43 I believe. The only thing distinct enough on that screen is the muzzle brake, I've seen such one only on some Bofors guns and Flak 43.

    3.7 cm Flak 18/36/37/43
    Correct. 3.7cm German AA gun. Statically emplaced, mounted on a wheeled mount or on a vehicle (Ostwind, Mobelwagen, Sd.Kfz. 7/2 or SWS).

    The 3.7 cm Flak 43, a light, fully-automatic, gas-operated antiaircraft weapon, may be statically emplaced, transported on a mobile mounting, or mounted on a self-propelled chassis. The gun consists of a removable, monobloc barrel fitted with a muzzle brake with six elongated ports and multi-perforated flash eliminator, and a breech casing which houses the breech mechanism. The gun is fed horizontally from the left in clips of eight rounds from a fixed loading tray, and is operated by the recoil of the gun itself. A hydro-spring buffer with variable recoil is located below the barrel, and two return springs lie side by side above the barrel.

    Mounting is of the pedestal type, the gun being hung from a single-ring type trunnion on the right. The feed to the gun is mounted through the ring and on the axis of the trunnion, making unnecessary any alteration in the position of the center of gravity of the gun and other elevating parts with variation in the quantity of ammunition in the clips and feed mechanism. Elevating and traversing handwheels are both on the right of the gun, the former being vertical and the latter horizontal.

    The equipment, which is of low build, is fitted with a shield varying in thickness from 9 mm at the center to 6 mm at the outer edges. The shield slopes backward at a 30° angle and is 4.2 feet high. In the middle is a space through which the mantlet elevates and depresses. A twin version of the 3.7 cm Flak 43 also exists. It is known as the 3.7 cm Flakzwilling 43.

    The weapon fires only the single rotating band projectiles.

    I'm fine, where have you been?

    It's a Dutch CTLS-4TAC. The picture was taken in Surabaya, Indonesia in 1945. This tank belonged originally to the KNIL, was captured and used by the IJA and then captured and used by Indonesian nationalists.

    Very busy at work ... moved to a new office and tourist season picking up. Been meaning to come here every day, but you know how it goes I'm sure...

    I don't think I really ID'd the pic properly : ) Someone else go or I'll post later if nobody else has.

    Easy picture. I also want the name of the unit this tank belonged to and its current location.
