re firing platform
According to Ian Hogg the first 100 17pdrs were mounted on 25pdr carriages. The reason being that the split trail carriage for the 17 pdr had not been produced in time for shipment to Africa to meet the threat of the German Tiger tanks. These units were airlifted to Africa. Wether they had firing platforms included or not I don't know. The first Tiger to be destroyed in Africa was nailed by a 6pdr.
