Hi,

My first posting here, requesting ID and any other info about this factory cutaway. It belonged to my late father-in-law, a career armourer/armaments officer in the RAF.

What's left of the base is marked ...30-550 405 MR 12 c..

The shell (sorry, lack of vocabulary, hope this is the right word) is kakhi with a red stripe and marked CS-501-MR-73.....

With thanks in advance for peoples' help.
