We have just received these two Mark XB Practice Shot projectiles. Each weighs 380 lbs (172kgs). They spent most of their life as entrance marker/flag pole guardians, but finally we have managed to get them returned to the Coast Defence Battery they were intended for. The projectiles need to be refurbished and re-stenciled. They should be black with a 2 inch yellow band and a 2 inch white tip.
Note the damage to bases and the lower sections of the projectiles because they were buried in concrete for decades.
