The remains of the gun pack from Hunter FR.10 XE621 H outside the 30mm bay at RAF Gutersloh after the aircraft crashed on 30Jan62.   Note the bent barrel that would take some force.   The gun contained 540 rounds of HE ammunition and they recovered most of it.   The rest was recovered by the Bomb Disposal Team from RAF Butzweilerhof.   During their search they happened to locate a German family's valuables which had been buried during the war.   The location had been forgotten as a battle had taken place over the spot where it had been buried - lucky for some.
