How very interesting. I've studied these things for years - mainly the WWI era - and have always held that anything smaller than 6" was fixed. I stand corrected. That also explains what I've accepted as fact but sometimes wondered about
: the early designation switch from BL to QF guns. Of course in 6" guns and larger it must be a different story.
Thanks for pointing that out.
