Gunfire damage at the Royal Navy Oil Fuel Depot in Mumby Road, Gosport, Hampshire

A very close detail of a cannon shell hole in a concrete wall at the Royal Navy Oil Fuel Depot in Mumby Road, Gosport. This looks to be an exit hole rather than an entry hole. The damage was probably caused by a German fighter aircraft.
