can't help with a diagram but can let you have a photo of a Mark XX from about 1948 if that helps. Dave
Dave,
Thanks for the offer. I had already seen your photograph, but it is the diagram I'm after. I spent Sunday at Priddy's Hard and having seen a number of depth charges there it piqued my interest into the functioning of the pistol. I have a copy (CD) of "Mine Disposal Officers' Handbook 1945" but the quality of my copy leaves a great deal to be desired.
Regards
Tim.G.

well done Tim, the museum needs all the visitors it can get. It's quite impressive isn't it? dave

You'll get the diagrams you want in the US Navy publication of 1946 - OP1665 'British Explosvie Ordnance', which is downloadable from the net - unfortunately I've lost the website address but if 'Invest' is reading this I sent it to him a few weeks ago!!

EODDA - Many thanks
Dave - The museum is very good, but I feel that it has much, much more potential (there's a lot more exhibits stashed away). If they're lacking visitors I would suggest its because they're not advertising their site and the Navy isn't helping. I spent a day and a half in the "Historic Dockyard" doing the ships etc., and there wasn't one reference to it.
Thanks
