17 pounder anti-tank gun

[Wayne Henderson]

The Pak I was refering to was the Pak 40 type which is an anti-tank gun similar to the 17 pdr in role. The Pak 40 pulls in at around 1500Kg where the 17 pdr a mere 3040kg. The calibers are a bees dick apart. (1.6mm in Canadian). The 88 Flak was not a Pak but an AA gun used in a role it was never intended for. Those bloody Germans were always cheating.
But you could, in theory, have a Pack of Flak of Ack Ack.
Weight of a 88 Flak in towing position, not including helmets, was around
7200kg, yes a lot heavier than a 17 pdr.

The 17pdr fitted to a 25 trail was known as a Pheasant and also produced in small numbers in Australia, but mainly as a test platform. The gun behind the #8 GT appears to have the split trail and carries a firing platform, which their is no mention of in the Parts Manual.

What's that white stuff on that 25 pdr? That looks like the same stuff used against Australian 17 pdr crews in Korea.
