C218 project
- Thread starter MarcdeB
- Start date
Yes for 2 pr but not the 2 pr No2 cartridge case, the AT and tank gun, it's for the 2 pr No1 case, the shorter case used in the AA gun.
My guess was the 2-PR QF, 28 cartridges Mk VIII Linked as in the Naval Pom-Pom.
I just today finished repainting my 1943 dated C218.
It is painted Deep Bronze Green with Golden Yellow markings on for the 2PR QF Pom-Pom. It may not be the correct colour for this type of box but as I have been unable to find detailed information and don't have any other than this paint I decided to use it. The stencils I made up myself based on some information I received previously.
