The Robs
Looking at this thread, I think I may have to change my name to Rob just to avoid confusion! (no apologies to Monty Python and the Aussie university faculty sketch!
 )Rob Nix: looks like I might be in the UK for a few days in March or April. Any chance of dropping in to see your collection and maybe swig a few at your local? Rob Love: now that you remind me, the Tiffy in D Bty in the '80s would let the guys top up thier recoils on their own after he had trained them himself and was satisfied that they would religiously enter it into the Gun History Books. I have scanned the Canadian Gun History Book and will happily send you a copy for your superb 105mm C1. I will PM you about some bits I'm looking for for a M1942 Zis 3 Russian and some info on 105mm disposals. Rob Fast: the same Gun History Book will be appropriate for your 17 pounder. Cheers! Mike

Hi Rob
No other bits found as of yet. The gun project has been crawling along, spending any spare time on the FAT which is now running. We took it for its first drive just the other day. But I will get back to the yard that this trailer was in to have a closer look . Cheers Rob

Rob,
Beautiful collection of CMPs. Your attention to detail is outstanding. The blood, sweat and tears putting it all together has to be considerable. Enjoy, I certainly do. Peter
