In response to a question about scotches (recoil ramps) used on Mark I - V howitzers I found an old thread (2006) with diagrams of
the Marks II & III howitzers. These seem to have come from a handbook or manual for the howitzers. In spite of a fair bit of searching I have been unable
to identify the handbook never mind find a downloadable copy.
Anyone know of this handbook and/or if it is downloadable? I've attached one of the Plates from the handbook just in case it prompts a memory.
I'd like to update the article on the Mark I - V on Landships II - with the number of printable 3D models of the howitzer available now it deserves a better,
more comprehensive article. The old thread is: https://landships.activeboard.com/t3882896/8-and-92inch-howitzers/
The second impossible thing is that there is, apparently, an article and drawings of the Mark V 8inch howitzer in the June 1974 edition of Military Modeling magazine.
