What they said! I'm in need of an illumination apparatus for my gun if anybody has one available, even just a box would be great!

Me too..
Hi Phillip,
I'd appreciate seeing those images too, please. High res sent to my email address would be good, please, so I can enlarge them for study. Gents: I'm also looking for a '6 points of the compass' set of views of 25pdr - both early Australian and early British (ie without muzzle brake) in high res please. Anyone who can (and is willing to) help, please contact me via PM and I'll give you an email address to send them to. Much gratitude in anticipation. Mike

Hi Tony,
No problem, mine are all unrestored but I'll dig them out and photograph. Mike, My quarter pounder is 1943 but converted in 1968 with a muzzle brake and counterweight. Regards Phillip

Thanks Phillip, that would be excellent.
Even now that i know what goes there, my internet searches still come up empty. I have heaps of 25 pounder photos for reference, but none have anything in either of the locations I originally enquired about. Fortunately, a 25 pr near to my location (outside a memorial hall) has both brackets on it still, so I can go take measurements. I'll do that when I get a chance.

Tony,
So have the guns at Murgon and Tiaro, so not too far from you. Phillip: thanks for the info. Pity it is a late barrel conversion (from my perspective), but enjoy your 25pdr. Regards Mike

Mike,
The one at Tiaro is the one I referred to. That one is only 20 min away. I go to that one fairly often for reference photos and to take measurements. Never had anybody ask what I was doing. Quite a suitable distance for a CMP drive really.  . Is all highway driving, but there are a few sections of double lanes, so faster vehicles can pass safely without sitting stressed behind me too long.The Murgon gun is much further away. Its over an hour to that one. On the way to Murgon there is a decent size disposals store, so it makes the journey worthwhile, and it's always wise to break a long drive with.......well.....a stop at an Army disposal store!!!! Don't want to become 'fatigued'.  Sorry, couldn't help myself. I got my 25pr dial sight there, as well as a nice case for my clinometer. But I have cleaned out their artillery gun stuff now. Apologies guys.
