John Isherwood. A 25pdr gun/howitzer and a number 27 ammunition trailer would not be carried on a 3 plank Medfit. Nowhere for the securing shackles to be attached to on the floor. Yes they would be transported on a Lowfit which has securing eyes on its floor. If transporting troop of 4 guns, they would travel with eight ammunition trailers and six gun tractors. There are set methods of securing an artillery piece to a railway wagon. I don't have a 25pdr manual which would have the correct way of ensuring the gun is not damaged in transit, or the railway wagon carrying it. Had the regiment I was attached to transported its 105mm light guns by rail part of my role as a gun fitter would have been to accompany the transport officer and the railway guard to ensure everything was safe and the holding chains would not damage the guns. 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted April 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Anyone fancy going in on a copy of the October 1947 coach workings document? There’s a copy on eBay at the moment that I’m bidding on, but would happily split between other interested parties (as I just want an electronic copy) Edited April 27, 2020 by The Fatadder 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
