Air Burst

This picture is of naff quality and does not begin to come anywhere near the previous pictures, however I thought it might be of interest to someone as it is a little unusual.
It is an 8 inch High Explosive (M106 I believe) shell fitted with air burst fuze and caught at just the right moment.

Naff quality due to 400 ASA film with a 400mm Lens with doubler and hand held (recipe for naff photo if ever!) on a not too brilliant day at the Larkhill public demonstration days back in the good old 70's

Also a Helicopter firing 2.75 in rockets
And an old target tank receiving a direct hit from a 105mm Practice SH round.

Nice pics jayteepee, and no that was not the detcord that was kicked out but we detonated some 45 90mm M-79 heat rockets and a load of TMRP-6 mines, that's why the big fireball.
