Hoseman Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The whole film is available on Youtube. Worth a look if only for the equipment. The movie is available quite easily on Amazon or ebay on DVD. Just got my copy! Brilliant for reference but not acting as stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterworks Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 @Ron would you be interested in doing some more measurements as I've just started a coronavirus lockdown PIAT replica project ? It will have no working parts, just a makeweight steel bar inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
