Does anybody have any photos of any of these rounds? I'm looking for some good pictures of these as would have been in use in Argentine service during the Falklands War.I have seen some distance pics with projectiles of a yellow colour and assume these would have been bought in rather than manufactured in Argentina. Any Pics and info much appreciated!

Here's a few 35 x 228 rounds. I don't think any of these particular rounds made it as far as the Falklands.
All INERT.

Mark - try the RAF Museum, as the RAF Regiment took some of the captured Argentine 35mm guns into service after the war. They are retired now but IIRC the Museum has an example and may have some ammo.
