    RAF Second World War 500lb MC bomb fins

    Hello everyone, following the excellent response to my last post on here a few weeks ago, I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me again. I am helping a new not-for-profit museum at the site of RAF Witchford (1943-45) near Ely, UK. My last post led us to acquiring two inert 500lb MC...

    British Mk IV Mine?

    Hello, I have had this British AT mine for a few years. I believe its the Mk IV. Sadly it is missing its lid. It came with a 1939 dated transit plug in the centre. Would anyone happened to have some pictures of what the fuze and lid would look like? As in the best of worlds, it would be nice...

    Tidy British 18pdr

    Picked up this little beauty the other day. This has to be the cleanest 18pdr I have seen in a long while. Not like the usual rusty ground dug ones doing the rounds. I would think this was picked up soon after firing judging by the condition and lack of corrosion.
