    Acronyms can be tricky things... just imagine that you were a USN Admiral who asked for a flotilla of destroyers only to receive Shermans in skirts!

    DD is also a bra size.

    That raises interesting possibilities.

    I see Parrish, Lakeman & Motley as kind of a "supergroup" of light anti-aircraft mounting designers.

    I like to think they all had beards and flared trousers.

    I have to say, I suspect this whole PLM thing is a bit of a rabbit hole, and in 20 years' time I'll be still be on this thread saying "Actually, I think the 'L' stands for something different...."

    Yes, but I only managed 28 shots, not 56, 100 or 200

    As long as you were wearing the Bernie Clifton ostrich suit, that's all that matters.
