"The Royal Navy during the Second World War" The interior of the gunhouse of a twin 5.25 inch gun mounting Mark II on board HMS KING GEORGE V. This angle is looking along the guns. Note the crew wearing anti flash gear. The two crew members facing the photographer are operating the high-angle hoist control lever, which operates the automatic shell hoist for when the gun is in an anti-aircraft role. The crew member with his back to the photographer appears to be looking through the sight port window.
