Summary
| Description |
English: Breakneck Battery - Photo taken with kind permission of Fortess HQ, Gibraltar.
Breakneck Battery is on Ministry of Defence property near Lord Airey's and O'Hara's Batteries. The name "Breakneck" was inspired by the nearby Breakneck Stairs which descend part way down the sheer cliff on which the battery stands, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. All three Batteries are situated on the ridge of the Rock of Gibraltar with commanding views of the Mediterranean Sea, Bay and Straits of Gibraltar. Breakneck Battery has a 9.2 inch Mark X breech-loading gun installed on a Mark V mounting and is one of three surviving 9.2-inch gun emplacements at the Upper Ridge of the Rock with the others being Lord Airey's and O'Hara's Batteries. |
