6 or 17 pr are not easy to find. I can move my 6 pr around with a handspike on my own, a 17 pr would be a different thing altogether, though I'd love to add one to the collection!

Definitely keeping her - she's very supportive of me collecting the green stuff!

Was very surprised a few months ago when she received a copy of "anti-tank guns of WW2" thought I'd stumbled over an early Christmas present - then she told me she'd bought it for herself!!!

Her grandfather was an anti-tank gunner with 72nd Anti-Tank Regt RA at Monte Cassino.

Moving something around would also necessitate a 6pdr I think... we will see.

Would have to be a 6pdr not the 57mm... could manage an airborne version though.

Cheers

I was thinking that, it would be right up your street.

Know of any for sale/exchange?

I've only seen one 6 pdr come up for sale in the last ten years, I got mine with a direct approach!

As rare as they are, airborne models are even rarer in private hands. You might get lucky with an exchange though.
