| Post subject: | Sanity Day Part 2 |
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 |

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.
