Glad you enjoyed it i am still chasing a few smalls for the gun ie covers and wooden staves but have most the rare stuff along with the post war upgraded no7 dial sight .They are a magnificent item and shame to see most outside rotting and being stripped
Ask your dad if you can I know when they used the 3.7" aa as anti tank gun they used an unfused HE round do they do the same with these in direct fire? Also my uncle was on 25pdr in North africa and Italy and he said when they fired at Germans in buildings they sometimes used the standard He round but left the safety cap on to allow for shel to enter building before detonating did they do this on 5.5" to get same delayed action on imapct fuses which were the same ? regards Rod
