Just sitting there and completely unexplained, there is a big WWII anti-aircraft gun on one of the corners in Henderson. After church we stopped to look at it.
There it is, aimed at the train station. (Although it looks pretty powerful. Maybe it's actually aimed at the mountains beyond!)
It needs two gunners to operate it. Here are our fine lads having a go at protecting the home front.

Looks like it will be a while before these fine lads will be able to reach the foot rests... by that time they will be very well practiced in protecting the home front!
They look like they are naturals. I loved the smiles as they manned the big guns.
Big shots, little shots...
big dreams, little dreams...
I hope all the dreams of the boys come true!
