fv1609 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Neil, not being patronising but that is a very good answer. I see exactly what you mean, but no. It is military. It looks a bit intergalactic, but that is the effect of sitting it on the scanner. So that has given a very rough idea of weight/size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) End fins of a mortor round? Mmh sort of on the right lines, but no. Another quiz! Spent until midnight in A&E as I gazed up from the bed, I started counting the dead flies in the flourescent light above me. Anyone have a guess at how many I counted? (Given that hospitals are cleaner now than they used to be) Edited November 15, 2009 by Marmite!! Photo link repaired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) Baseplate for a mortar... ummh no. does the view from the other end help Can someone have a guess at the number of dead flies in the light diffuser?

ArtistsRifles Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 PIAT round? And about 50 flies in the diffuser??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 PIAT round? Good idea, but no. It is 2.0cm across And about 50 flies in the diffuser??? 82 actually. That was a minimum, I think there were some sitting on top of each other. Where were the spiders then? Well one fell out of the paper towel dispenser, but it too had died.

ArtistsRifles Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Just over 3/4" in dia - is that across the fins or the max dia of the nose section? Not one of the things the Sappers used for firing lines across/up obstacls is it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fins Ummh no Hmmm - 3/4" across the fins - can't be much bigger than a dart then..... Can we ask how long it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 76mm or if you want it in UNF it's 3 imperial inches or 2.7 US inches :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Small then, less than a dart in length!! I'm guessing it's designed to spin because the fins are off-set to one another.... Part of a paravane???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
