Tony B Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Been to a local boot fair and got this group of Cigarrete cards for a £1. The Air Raid precautions are mainly WD & HO Wills. The large thing with the shell is from Gallaher and described as 'Silencer on a Big Gun' ! :nut: The other ones are just marked Modern Armememnts. A series of 50 subjects from Actual phtographs. By Louis Gerard, London. Not the howitzer with tracks around the wheels. Idents please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Not the howitzer with tracks around the wheels. Idents please. The tracks look like Orolo ones, which I think, were made by Roadless and used on all sorts of applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks Richard. I'll try scanning and enlarging the vehicle ones for easier Ident. I'm thinking mid 1920's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) The "Tank Advancing" is a Medium MkI, the "Tank Negotiating a Bank(?) is a Vickers Carden Loyd, possibly a Model 1933, the tracked vehicle pulling the gun is (hard to make out) a Dragon of some type, possibly a MkIII, there's a model in the Woolwich Arsenal, looks very much like this combo. The Tracked Howitzer looks like something to tow behind a Carden Loyd, I've seen photos with 20 or 25mm A/T guns, as below And a howitzer. complete with its wheels sat on the tracked trailer, but nothing like this one.
