8 Inch 30mm Cutaway Projectiles

[Montagu]

My colleague was given these two different cutaways some years ago. He would love to know something about them. Is anybody able to provide some information as to where they might have come from? They are 8 inches long and 30mm in diameter.

Kind regards

Looks like 2, 30mm ADEN rounds. One Armour piercing (on top), and the other practice (bottom). Nice cutaways, wouldn't mind that AP round.

Keep in mind that the APHC is quite rare.

Thanks guys! It's good to know that one of them, at least, is desirable! I wonder where they came from or what they were used for........?

Pzgr40, What does APHC stand for? Armor piercing....? Also Montagu, these are used on many British fighters, but not exclusively.

Armour Piercing Hard Core.
