6 Pounder A/T Gun (Aust)

[Darian Carn]

G'day All,

I have been "out of the loop" for a while - busy with work, etc. and haven't had much of a chance to do anything.

Work commitments, etc. are keeping me too busy to spend time on the "good stuff"!!


Bob,

Many Thanks for the heads up on the Fort North Museum and keeping an eye out for us. Greatly appreciated. I'll endeavour to make contact with them soon and see what they may be able to do to assist us. Failing that, I'll see if someone up that way will be able to help us out.

Lance,

I am aware of Gary and have been in touch with him several times. He has been extremely helpful. They did an absolutely fantastic job of their gun.

The lower sheild on the Australian Gun is very similar to overseas versions but not quite the same. I could possibly scale from photographs however I really would like to get it exactly right. If I have to do it I'd rather only do it once, and right, the first time. Thanks for the thought. It is appreciated.

David,

Many Thanks also for the offer of the cover.

We have a N.O.S. Cover at the workshop that Pedr picked up for us quite a while back. I'm not sure if it is the same one, so I'll track it down and check it out. I can't remember which of the covers we have.


We have been working away (when what little spare time is available) on some of the smaller parts, but nothing really sustantial though. Still every little bit gets us closer - albeit ever so slowly.

With things piling up before Christmas (everybody wants everthing .. yesterday) we've been slowed down a bit on the restoration front ... and the New Year is looking to be just as busy. I need to get sick to get some time off!!

We are still looking for the sighting gear, etc. so if anyone has a lead or is able to help out, we would be very grateful.

Again, With Many Thanks,

Kind Regards to all,

Darian.
