No Signals Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Not being a military man and up on modern stuff what were these that were being used at Tynemouth for a 'salute swap' with a naval vessel at the weekend? Got to say the navy made a lot more noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Don't they use Hammel guns? Interesting looks like an RB44 towing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan turner (RIP) Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 unable to enlarge the image but the gun seems to have rounded trail legs which would make it an L118 105mm lightgun whichis now the officially recognised saluting piece. Last time a salute was fired at Woolwich Arsenal one of the guns came from tyneside and was towed by an RB44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
