Z-gun/Z-rocket???? CANAL-DEFENSE... Measurements? rockets used?
Guys,
I am looking for information about the "Z-gun" or "Z-rocket" used for canal defense along the English Channel. Especially measurements and pictures would be very helpfull. Also I am looking for info on a certain "Standard CN MkI 5inch rocket". Is someone familiar with this type of rocket? Was this used in combination with the Z-gun? I think a modified Z-gun might have been used for the mine-clearing "Conger" carrier. We are looking for info to prove this and for measurements to reproduce it to complete the Overloon museum Conger carrier.

I just wanted to place this one on top again, because we haven't been able to find any info yet.
Can anyone shed some light on these Z-rockets? What size of rockets did they use? Does anyone have any measurements of this thing or a picture of one armed with a rocket? http://www.undergroundkent.co.uk/ZR%20-%2019a.jpg source: www.undergroundkent.co.uk Alex |
Hi Alex,
This page has some illustrations of the Z-Rocket, and illustrations of markings on the 3.5 and 5 inch rockets further down the page. You may be able to get more information from the page author. An Illustrated Treatise on Ammunition and Ordnance Hope it helps, Cheers, Gord |
