Hello all,
Today I received an inert 30mm practice round as used in a Harrier. Apart from the usual stamped marks I noticed this odd looking inscription in large letters on the steel body of the projectile. It reads XXIV, approx 1.14mm in height and roughly inscribed. Has anyone have any ideas as to why it should be there? The only other stamp on the projectile is a neatly stamped RG 90. Could this have been scribed on there at Radway Green, a Brummie joke or an experiment of some sort?
Mystified?
