Delighted to add this uncommon 4.5" 8cwt drill round to the collection. 1945 dated and of unusual construction for a British drill round. The cases used in this gun were cut down and reworked 3.7" anti-aircraft gun cases.

Shown with a 1pr drill round for comparison and beside a case, also dated 1945.

Does anyone have a projectile that they can show or have a copy of the gun handbook?
