Smile 18-lb'er in traveling mode

Has anybody got any photos showing how the gun looked when in traveling mode. I am after particularly details of which parts were removed for traveling such as gunsights etc.

Thanks in advance

Cliff,

Generally all artillery travels in the same configuration, cradle locked, sights stowed in their cases and covers fitted.
I have some pictures so I will sort through and post suitable ones.

Thumbs up

Thanks Rob. All the photos I have don't show the gun close enough to tell what is what.

Aussie MKIV or similar. I have the Resicast resin British 18Lb gun and limber with the Martin Perry conversion to phumatic tyres which I will convert to the Aussie Axle and 900X20 wheels.

I am about 2/3rds of the way through scratch building a Ford M/H LP3a to tow it.

Next on the list is the WW1 version with the horses towing it
