Kris & Matt,

According to the HMS Belfast website -

"The guns in the forward turrets ('A' and 'B') are trained and elevated onto a target some 12.5 miles (20 kilometers) away in north-west London -the London Gateway Motorway Services Area on the M1 - a reminder of the awesome power of naval gunnery in the Second World War!"

Sorry - no postcard

Ah - thank you very much. I wonder what the service station has done to deserve being targeted for a naval barrage... maybe it's best not to know...

Cheers

This question was also asked on QI recently (or was it a repeat on dave that I was watching?).

She`s quite striking at night when the illuminations are switch on as well.
