Tranter Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi, My name is Steve & I have a great interest in British artillery from WWI Onwards. I'm retired & 69 years old. I served for 6.5 years in the Royal artillery as a Battery Surveyor and for 16 years in the RAF as an electronics engineer. I'm mainly interested in the sighting of guns and have a reasonable collection of sight brackets/carriers, dial sights and direct fire telescopes, field clinometers & sight clinometers, most of which have been restored by myself.

Ex-boy Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi Steve, and welcome. I am sure your knowledge will be an asset to many here. By the way, I'm also Steve, ex-army and 69 years old, but sadly I don't currently have the time, funds nor space for any hardware, so I can only offer an occasional snippet from my experiences. No doubt you can do better. Good luck. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranter Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Thank you for those kind words! I hope that my interest in artillery optics/instruments etc. May be of some use to people and I'm more than happy to advise or help anyone who needs some assistance. I can't say I'll always be able to come up with the right answer though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
