Naval Gun Team (1953)

Chatham, Kent. Various shots show sailors towing a gun carriage around and over an obstacle course in a field. They go over walls, swing across a broken derek, take parts off and put them together again. When they reach the end of the course they fire the gun. Probably rehearsal for the Royal Tournament.
