Don I did not imply that the Oerlikon was ground mounted.

Oh I see, So you didn't research the OOB and see if the Oerlikon was available or not before complaining we should include it then did you? Since you were compaining about this gun being missing from the flak class what else was I to assume? Oerlikon WERE used by a few other nations in ground mounts...........so not Australia then??

With respect to the 2 Pounder AA gun why this instead of say a Bofors 40 mm AA gun?
Because SOMEBODY who we trusted with the OOB( we can guess but we don't really know for sure...) decided that that was a "more accurate" description of the name of the gun . Obviously you think it should be Bofors. Personally, I think "Bofors" is more widely accepted but "2 Pounder AA" is also an accurate name but I changed it to read 40mm Bofors AA yesterday.
