Hello Gentlemen,
I recently added this WWII era Limpet Mk.4 Drill to my collection. While comparing it to pictures of other WWII Limpet mines, I noticed that it is pretty much visually identical to the Limpet Mk.III (see picture and sketch from internet below). Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the Mk.II and Mk.4? Is it just the fact that the Mk.4 is a drill version of the Mk.III?
Also if anyone has an example of the Mk.III or Mk.4 Limpet in their collection, please post pictures.
Thanks
John
