If anyone else has any more of these leaflets, I would be really interested to see them.

Hi Bonnex

Thanks for that - I wouldn't like to carry that lot far!

Probably a silly question, but what is the accessory pack in picture 3. Each Beehive obviously has three legs to achieve the correct stand-off distance, but I understand they can be "stacked" to enable penetration of thicker targets. Are these bits and bobs used for this purpose, or??? for underwater deployment?

Cheers

Switch, to me picture 3 shows a storage box which holds four beehive charges - the one in the box has two beehives in a 'carrier' and outside the box are two beehive charges and the carrier shown separate. (no great knowledge on my part I'm afraid, the writing on the bits say 'carrier' so I assume it is just for transportation purposes???? ) - please correct me if I am wrong as the phrase comes to mind, 'better to look ignorant and say nothing, than to open your mouth and prove it!'

regards Kev
 
Hi Butterfly

Thanks for that - Should have looked at the picture in higher resolution! I think you are right!!

Cheers

Beehive is still in service today, packed individually in a W131 box, sporting original 1940s markings updated to todays spec.

Switch,

Apologies for the delay. Hopefully Kev has answered you question on the Carriers. I dont know whether the carriers provide any other function such as assisting with horizontal attack but maybe there is an Engineer/ Assault Pioneer watching who knows about such things. My only practical experience with these charges was on logistic disposal.

I believe underwater deployment needs maintenance of the air gap between the charge and the target but again maybe someone out there can comment.
