6 Pounder A/T Gun (Aust)

[Darian Carn]

Hello again All,

Many Thanks for the replies.

I have been "Off-Line" thanks to the kids using up all the Internet usage last month - better try to get some posting in before they do it to me again!

Hello Phil,

Sounds like the piece of sheild you have is one that we already have, but thanks anyway.

Mike,

Great Images from the book. I'll go through my Dad's Books and see if we have the GMH Record.

Bob,

Thanks for the image of the 6 Pdr in Canberra. It appears to be the same gun that was shown in the Cooma Motorfest thread. At least you can see the lower hinged sheild in this shot.

If anyone knows who the owner is and could possibly put me in touch with them to get the dimensions of the Lower Hinged Sheild it would be appreciated.


Work on the Gun has progressed but getting the barrel out of the slipper was a major exercise but we eventually got there. Almost as hard was getting the slipper out of the cradle - many years of sitting still and rust!! Not that they had rusted together but just the smallest amount of rust and expansion in the small tolerances and they took forever to budge.

A few more shots of the works in progress.

Darian.
