Hi Malcolm
Well I can blame you for spending the day in front of the computer instead of working on the trucks, but I've been having fun following the thread of information about 40 MM Bofors and the different Fire Control Directors and Radar units. The Navy site is rather interesting once you find their search engine
http://www.hnsa.org/search/index.htm which lead into the back door of the US Library of Congress technical research papers search engine which I don't seem to be able to get to through the normal library site (even my wife who is a reference librarian can't fiqure out how I got in.)
US Bofors and control equipment can be found at
http://www.antiaircraft.org/index.htm.
As to a source on Bofors can't be of any help have not seen even bits of these in the states for years. Given the rules on this type of weapon even demilled they are likely to be scarce.
Cheers Phil
