I'm looking for some information about the final series of 51mm mortar bombs made by Radway Green - in the 1990s I believe. I have data sheets (with very limited information) and a photo which seem to be of the most recent ones. They show that the HE was designated L14A1, the Smoke L15A1 and the Illum L16A1.
Before that, I have records for the L1 HE, L2 Smoke and L3 Illum. Did the designations jump straight from L1-3 to L14-16, or were there other marks in between? Does anyone know what changed between the L1-3 and L14-16?
The HE L14A1 appears to use a different fuze from the L127 used in the HE L1 - anyone know what it was?
Thanks for any help.
