30mm DEFA 550 TP Rounds

[Vasco Da Gama]

I thought to post some pictures of a couple of 30mm practise rounds for the DEFA 550 aircraft cannon for general interest. Both are from the 1970s, the smaller/ more streamlined being an M43 made in 1977. The more blunt is possibly a model TA 210 made in 1971. The brass case for the 550 surprised me when I found it, I thought most of the French ammunition for this weapon had steel cases, almost let it pass by as another ADEN case!
