I "Stand Corrected" - in UK use you are right - smile - its a long time ago when i was a GO!! (1965)

Naval ones are 5!! - peterh

UK ones had 5-rounds - so thanks but no (smile) - peterh

there are 2 in the hull of "Polish S3" at Hoo on the Medway at our end of the world ; looks as though i'll have to try and dig them out. - cos HSL 102 is in need of one as well!! - peterh

I NEED a V-Drive, Drive-Shaft, Prop Shaft for MASB S32 -

All the indications are that she came away from Gib without them!!

A complete WW2 Oerlikon on a shipboard mount suitable for mounting on the stern of an MASB / HSL / MGB

peterh

Thank you - any news on the third engine, please

peterh

no, sorry - just go onto eBay and type in "Bofors" and see what the've got??

peterh

engine!!

eBay have got some

peterh

BUT they are NOT licence built Merlins - those are GENUINE Packard  "through and through" - still V-12's but producing a lot more Horsepower than the Merlin's - peterh

yes - there was one listed on here - in a scrapyard - but in Malta!!

and yes you can run them - just have to a) tie them down b) ensure that you have a good "raw-water" supply going in the right "hole"

peterh

John "1950" - where is it

and has it a centre with a V-Drive, please

peterh

I AM!!

where is it, please - peterh

don't lose it (smile) - see GoFundMe "restore HMS Bronington" - we have found the Original Gun -

but that sounds like the "Tool Chest" that used to be behind the Gun up against the bulkhead of the Wheelhouse!!

but i digress : for another project, do you have in stock an Oerlikon Mk 2 on a "solid, tapered" mount for shipboard use

or are you able to find me one, please - peter

would you have a "marine mount" Mk 4 Oerlikon in stock or know where i could find one, please

(for fitment on MGB 45 / Polish Navy S3 which we are going to restore)

Peter Horscroft (ex-GO HMS Hubberston 1965)

it looks to be a boat gearbox : only "forward or backwards"???

Brilliant - again "that's the one I want" - (Olivia "Neutron Bomb" in "Grease") - p

exactly the one -

was it on a tapered metal mount or a 3-leg one, please

i have their phone number

so shall phone in the morning and see if they've still got it

thank you

peterh (Mid and G.O HMS Hubberston 1965)

(I see you now live in the Netherlands - may we stay in touch, please

since I am Crew on a Southerly

and in normal  conditions we come over to the Netherlands every year

perhaps to meet-up??)

Question -

does anybody know what Mark or Model of Oerlikon was used on MGB's in the Second World War

(we hopefully are going going to need one : the plan is to restore (to Original)  MGB 45 / later Polish S3 / later still M V Freelance )

2) following that, does anybody know where there is one??
