Bofors 90mm PV-110 cases

[Rrickoshae]

Rather random things to find in the UK, a pair of these cases for the Bofors 90mm PV-110 recoilless rifle. Does anyone know if they were trialled in the UK? Note that the shoulder is only a third of the way up the case.

cheers Dave

The Irish Defence Forces used to use them.

Cheers Dave, cracking footage. Also points out that I left out a ‘1’ in the title! My cases are from an earlier era of course, dating from the 60s.
