What differences were there between the 17 Pounder limber and that of the 25 pounder (apart from the obvious internal stowage). If memory serves me right, the former was a much simpler design?

Also, usage. How widely used was it?

Now, anyone got detail images/plans of the 17 Pounder limber?





As usual, contact me off-line with any details! Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim,

There was a discussion about this over on Maple Leaf a while ago.

I'll ask Kevin if he got any more data.

Hello Jim,

I haven't really got any more info other than the replies to my old posting on Maple Leaf Up. However I finally got the search function to work on my email and found some images from British Pathe.
The film id is 1986.01 Invasion Scenes Europe and about 4 minutes into the film a Crusader Gun Tractor towing a limber and 17 pdr crosses the scene. There is not much to see but atleast it is another set of images.

Cheers
Kevin
