rnixartillery Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 There's some interesting tracked vehicles in the clip,I would say the film was compiled mid to late 1930's. No sign of the 6,17 or 25 pdr's ! Rob..........................rnixartillery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 An interesting array of guns. 25mm & 2pdr A/T, 18pdr (?) towed by a variety of vehicles, including Dragons. 7.2" wheeled howitzers & is that an old 9.2" at around the 9m40s mark? Bren spotter gun on a 40mm Bofors! Would that actually work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the 37mm Bofors ! the 1930's was a very interesting decade in the development of Artillery and seems forgotten about due the the overwhelming impact of Word War Two.
