snowtracdave Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I think Don Gray was/is an HMVF member - he contacted me after seeing the ST trailer in my footer - he was hoping it would turn out to be a seaplane tender trailer but unfortunately I had to disappoint him .

BIGREDONE Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Anyone know what these tubes are for? They are Quad Harpoon missile launchers. Harpoon is a medium-range (90km) anti-ship missile using inertial and active radar guidance. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
