    Rare airsporter in auction

    https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/a...=lot-view-link

    Haven’t seen a 22 inch airsporter before

    Shame it seems to have been left out in the rain for about a year though
    Morally flawed

    As you know only cruisers and battleships of the Royal Navy can take more than a 6 inch gun, which is why the gun is rusty from all that seawater.

    For a moment I thought this was some kind of long barrelled export model.

    Reminds me of the 6 inch naval gun that fired six inch navels.

    Equally rare up for auction elsewhere are a few break barrel Airsporter's, in both 0.177 & 0.22 !
