Hi all.

First a big thanks to Waff for dropping off a few goodies and a bigger thanks to Mick for thinking of me.

Have updated the index of the collection but due to the size have had to put it here;

www.30mm.info

If your on dial up, please don't bother having a look, the pdf is about 25meg so takes about 30 seconds to load with broadband, sorry.

Pics of the latest additions below.

Take care everyone.

Charlie

Thanks Chris and Dave (both who have helped me no end with the collection) its getting there. The full clip of O/D are HSS831A's and although i have a few types know very little about them. If anyone knows what cannon the clip is for please let me know as i've come across them before. I have only in the last year branched out from RARDEN into all 170mm so if anyone has any info however small please let me know. I'm an amature again :) xx

Hi Charlie
I think the clip (your second picture) is for the HS 661 (single HS 831A 30mm cannon used by the french army). the clips are stacked in a magazine over the receiver.

Looks at a french HS831A HEI (First on my picture : HEI Mle 1957, second : TP Mle 1959)
