3 inch 60 lb "Lillo"

[Yodamaster]

Hi everybody,
I'm looking on information about the WW2 rocket weapon system "Lillo".
I known that nit was a ground/ground rocket system who used rockets 3 inch 60 lbs.
Have somebody more info about this system ? Text, drawings, pics,...

You are most welcome. One of our members posted the internet address where the book was available as a download a few months ago.

Let the force be with you.

With this two pics (founded this monday) (not the pics, the rocket heads), I will let see you my problem.
This is sure a 3 inch 60 lb No2 Mk 1 (fuze No 878) but my problem is :
what are these pins around the spigot of the fuze ?
I though first that it was the fixing systen of the motor on the warhead.
But all the pictures, drawings, technical datas let not see a same fixing system. Therefor I though on Lilo.
Have someone an idee ?

These rockets are often found in holland.

Shouldered pins ?

The Rocket motor tube has a small internally threaded bush made to fit inside the tube which is secured to the tube by 6 or 8 (not exactly sure of the number used) small "shouldered pins", these pins are held in place in an undercut between the internal threads of the bush with either one or two spring steel retaining clips that expand to fit the undercut thus keeping pressure on the pins enabling the internal bush to be rotated until the spring pressure pops out the shouldered pins to engage in the pre drilled motor tube holes thus locking the ring in place.
