Australian mortar carriers
Hi all.
Trying to find some details on the dedicated 3" Australian mortar carrier. The dedicated carrier had the mortar position fixed in the back of the carrier and the engine was up next to the driver - very similar setup to the 2pd anti tack gun carrier. Photo of one similar at http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/a...rCarrier-1.jpg Anyone able to help with this. Im looking particularly as to how the mortar turntable looked and worked. I know Mike Cecil did some work on the mortar carrier but i am looking for extra. Thanks again all, Glenn. |

Mortar or Tank Attack?
See under Forum > Armour > Swords to plowsheers. Is that a cut down mortar carrier or the tank attack which I believe used the same configuration? Or is my eyesight playing up!
