I managed to get some work in on the 6 pdr recently completeing the lower sheild and fabricating the splinter plate that hangs down below the gun.I ended up having to make the hinges as there was nothing I could find suitable.final job is to fabricate the main sheild which is a bit more technical,a friend of mine will plasma cut the plate and fold the correct rake leaving me with tarting up jobs .

Hi Dave Welcome to the mad house,sedgefield....just up the road from here. Rob......................rnixartillery.

Is that the posh end ! :readpaper: Rob..........................rnixartillery.

If this is the one Marcus has just aquired it came from the same source as my 57mm ANTI-TANK Gun,completely preserved . Its so hard to find this gear in such good condition anymore. But it does not come without some risk ! Rob...................rnixartillery.

Robin, I'll give you a clue,Im nearer than you are ? :cool2: Rob....................rnixartillery.

Part no for 4.5 and 5.5 Medium Gun Breech covers are CM935 so that rules those out ! Rob....................rnixartillery.

I don't know what it is mate but in need's saving !!!!!!!!!!! Rob..........................rnixartillery.

Alan The American 155mm gun did come from Rotunda recently,apparently it was donated to firepower many years ago by a regiment based at Catterick. It will be used as a gate guard which is a real shame as it is in remarkable condition. Steve, The D20 is a different gun I believe, not to sure where it has appeared from but judging by all the Artillery firepower have had to dispose of it probably came from there also. Could have done with some coming my way !!! Rob.........................rnixartillery.

Lee Have you got a pic of the whole cover ?I see it has the CM prefix but don't recognise the number. Rob.......................rnixartillery.

I was recently at a secret location and came across these beauties ! Rob.....................rnixartillery.

How to repair the 'Great wall of China'!!!!!! Rob.....................rnixartillery.

It seems in the second shot down that the tracks need lubricating !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could be tricky when you are being shot at. :red: Rob..................rnixartillery.

My Money would be on the Vickers light tank,if only I had enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rob..............rnixartillery.:clap:

Forget Sammy ! my Stallion is 12KK40. Rob.........................rnixartillery

Right Chaps, It was my Stallion that was regretfuly at A+S,there is also another preserved Stallion in the Royal engineers museum at Gillingham (if that is were the museum is ) This was the clean one at War and Peace last year,it is cared for by several friends of the museum. So that makes four. I also have parts from the remaining two scraped Stallions,An engine ,2 wireing harnesses and loads of other parts. Rob.........................rnixartillery.

Glynn, Do you have any pictures of your gun you can post on here ? Rob......................rnixartillery.

Steve, you took the words right from my mouth,it looks to me like 30mm hispano-suiza. There were I think several variants all fitted with the same tell tale barrel ! Rob...............................rnixartillery.

Which parts from the gun and carriage do you have missing ? There were quite a few of these guns disposed of by the finns and most now seem to have disapeared. Is your gun ex-Finnish stock. Rob .....................rnixartillery.

No pictures,Turn up with the cash,try it and take it.Once paid for you can chop it up into little pieces and post it around the world ! This vehicle is a bargain in todays standards,Diesel powered,road registered and 1 of 4. What more could one ask for ?:banghead: Rob..........................rnixartillery.

Reduced to £12,500 with spares ,worth every penny ! :-D Rob............................rnixartillery

Hello Andrew Thats kind of you ,Thanks :thumbsup:

Hi Folks, Bit of an odd one this, I normally spend my time restoring Artillery but recently put together a mock up of a forward Artillery observation post.I picked the 'wooden jeep 'up several weeks ago with the remains of a 62 set and a 1945 dated manual with fitting instuctions. The jeep fittings were also made to be removed and used on mule packs which carried the radio,batteries,charger and all the ancilleries.I am still short of a few bits but its very close. The jeep is very similar to those used by the artillery towards the end of the war and into the 1950's as forward observation posts who's role would be to radio co-ordinates back to artillery batteries.It makes a good display although its in with the yank stuff. If anyone has a spare war time aeriel base ,I would be interested. :cool2: Rob...........................rnixartillery.
