Last Defence Force 25pdr Shoot
protacman replied to protacman's topic in Artillery & Anti-Tank Weapons
They flew in a 105mm light gun and fired it on a point target(missed it) then we got to see the last rounds fired. one miss fire , dodgey round. reason for retirement, guns exceed legal towing limit for an unbraked trailer.(EU) tyres 40 years old (unsafe) ammo getting harder to get (believe that one) who will get them museums and interested parties -
On thursday we fired the 25pdr for the last time. heres some pics we were asked to bring an Acmat,these trucks were bought as artillery tractors. also present were the tilbury fort group with their morris and limber this is a former Irish vehicle

Steady...... the old diesel soaked stuff and replace it ( do'es anyone know where to get the genuine foam and overcloth?) I had to use a couple of layers and reuse the old cloth Evo is good... Slowly , slowly

i've used both I own a 432,in case i'm accused of bias....... 432 has better protection,similiar mobility,but harder to service, track system is similiar. I've seen mikes get hit with rpg's and they just burn, til your left with rollers and pack. Seating, in Israel the seats were moved to the centreline, back to back. Kit storage was built up over the tracks, helping to stop spalling injuries. Based on my own experiance and barrack stories I'd rather use a 432.
