From which side are the guns seen - in other words, which is the right one and which is the left one? --Palnatoke 16:19, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Left and right as used in the article refer to the guns as seen by someone standing behind them. The IWM website says that the tampion badge of the right-hand gun depicts a charging knight, symbolising HMS Resolution. This picture shows the muzzles of the guns from the front allowing the badges to be seen. The knight is on the left-hand gun as seen from the front, or the right-hand one as seen from behind.

How can there be four nearest underground stations?

Why is there only pictures of non-British equipment in this article?

Nothing stopping you from adding British equipment pics. Chensiyuan 06:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
In answer to why there are four nearest underground stations: that is what the musuem says on its own website. I guess which one is nearest depends on which line you are using and the direction you are coming from. Molybdomancer 11:54, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Yes, not particularly close to any of the stations, common south of the river. Paulbrock (talk) 22:20, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] In 1939, the Museum began including displays relating to the Second World War
