18-lb'er in traveling mode
 
Has anybody got any photos showing how the gun looked when in traveling mode. I am after particularly details of which parts were removed for traveling such as gunsights etc.

Thanks in advance :thup2:

Cliff,

Generally all artillery travels in the same configuration, cradle locked, sights stowed in their cases and covers fitted.
I have some pictures so I will sort through and post suitable ones.

Thanks Rob. All the photos I have don't show the gun close enough to tell what is what. :thup2:

Aussie MKIV or similar. I have the Resicast resin British 18Lb gun and limber with the Martin Perry conversion to phumatic tyres which I will convert to the Aussie Axle and 900X20 wheels.

I am about 2/3rds of the way through scratch building a Ford M/H LP3a to tow it. :)

Next on the list is the WW1 version with the horses towing it
