Hi Andy,
Thank you for visiting!
I am so happy that you like the scene.
I can certainly believe this! How ever they could make a trustworthy casting for a cannon before the days of steel and machine tools, I just do not know!
Best Wishes,
Peter
Thank you so much for your very kind visit here. As you will remember, this was a battle re-enactment from the old days. The only thing they were shooting was balls of straw (made form the pile in front of the cannon). I tried to get an action picture, so I am pleased that you like the result.
Love Peter

Hi Isabel ,
Thank you very much!
I'm happy that you had a good look and think!!
I suspect this is a modern day replica, made with the highest quality metals, and x-rayed for flaws every few firings!
Hi ,June
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
I am pleased you found it interesting.
I have no idea what the safety rules are, but as you say, the man from elf'n safety won't be too far away!
Best Wishes,
Peter
Hi Val,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
There were so many people milling around on the battlefield that it was hard to get a meaningful picture of the fighting, but I thought a cannon firing might be an idea..If I could time it right!
Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

Je suis étonné que ce canon fonctionne encore !
C'est une véritable pièce de musée

Glad you like it!!
I suspect it is a modern copy of a very old gun.
Also, they are only firing balls of crumpled up straw, not real balls!!
Best wishes
Peter
