I like the 'whites of the eye' shots too - always shows just how effective a gun emplacement was for its job.<br /><br />Despite the scares about the French (in the early Napoleonic era days), the Spanish, the Americans (which was why the British needed a new penal colony in the first place) and the Russians (in both the Crimean War and when the RN intervened in the Russo-Turk war of 1877-78) nobody ever really threatened our rum and beer caches. The first direct foreign attack on Sydney would not occur until 1942 when the Imperial Japanese Navy employed midget submarines to sneak in and torpedo shipping.
