MK III Limpet

[jvollenberg]

I am looking for good external images of the UK MK III limpet. Not the "CLAM" version, but the round MK III. Amazingly I can't find anything really good external shots.

Thanks,

Joe

Yes, but I need some good high quality pictures. That .RU site is really nice, and I've used it before.
I was hoping someone had one they could post some pictures of. I need a good straight on shot, a good side shot and one of the bottom.

Here are pictures of the one I have in my collection. It is a Mk.4, but as far as I can tell, it is identical to the Mk.III on the exterior.

The lot number MRP 59-2P means that in 1959 the Limpet is renovated by the Munitie Renovatie Compagnie (Ammunition Renovation Company). So I think we never made them in the Netherlands, but only renovated older British limpets.
