On behalf of 1C:MG workers big thanks to everyone, who submitted the info. Now they have something to begin with.
Yet, if you happen to come across some more photos of 1930-40 port equipment - don't hasitate to post them here.

Meanwhile, there is another request for help from community from Oleg:

Big thanks again!

More useless stuff that will never be seen at 350 KPH. Concentrate more on the stuff in the air and use the items you already have in your inventory.. We have been waiting for this addition for some time now...

You forget that playable AA guns will be modeled in SoW, so it's not "useless stuff."

While we're talking objects and buildings I hope that Oleg / 1C have got info about gasworks. Every town had the distinctive gasholders somewhere, and they were a target for opportunistic 109s.

Example: http://www.sutton.gov.uk/leisure/heritage/gasworks.htm

Please folks stay on topic.

Let's keep this thread clear for the people actually contributing.
