Does anyone have the measurements/dimensions for the HE projectile for this gun.

Any info gratefully received.

Mark,
In close proximity to you is "Explosion" and "Fort Nelson" both of which have examples of the ordnance, it's quite possible they have the appropriate projectiles.

Hi Mark,

Width was 114mm around the body (119mm width around the widest point of the driving band), and height was 468mm without a fuze fitted, and 574mm with a No.207 fuze fitted (my uncle owns one, I measured it a while ago)
