Sanity Day Part 2

[Junkyard36]

As part of an earlier thread (in the Hangar), wanted to break out the non - aviation stuff.

This is from the Highland Lakes Squadron of the CAF.

Front of Building

The howitzer in front still has the aiming mechanism attached - very rare! All I'd need would be the Gunner's Quadrant and I'd be good to go.



M114 155mm Howitzers







An M-60





A random missile - anyone know the type?





Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Looks to be a Nike Ajax. Launched a super duper cool estes model version back in the 80's.

Hopefully the first round will blow out the plug in the barrel otherwise you will look like Elmer Fudd when Bugs shoves a carrot in the barrel of is rifle.

Doh! You'd need a reeeeally long lanyard!
