Notes | The Van 7.5 TL 1 was a Vickers designed weapon that was built under licence by the Dutch firm Hemburg. The Vickers was a proven design and was exported to many countries and the Dutch issued them to heavy anti-aircraft batteries but failed to equip them with the appropriate fire controls and this made them less effective. |
