The section on Carriage Mk3 says this is Mk1 Carriage modified for transport by air.

This lists the differences between the Carriages, has a section on disassembly and assembly, then care and maintenance, plus stores list and lubrication guide.

If you are interested, I can scan this document and send to you.

(This also records detail for Carriage Mk1 for anyone with the regular 6pdr).

Tim,

That would be most appreciated ,happy to cover any costs .
One thing Which is very evident is that even on the airborne conversion there are quite a few variations and slight differences.

I'll post a few pics of it dressed when it stops raining !
