hello everybody
I'm looking for information about this mobile firing platform, used withing the Delta.
I'll made a diorama with 2 platforms into water.
But I've no idea about the correct dimensions.
Could not find anything into the Internet.
Thank you all for any information.
T.

Quoted Text

The platform, a 22-foot square, was similar to a low table with large footpads on four adjustable legs to distribute its weight. The platform could be lifted by Chinook and placed rapidly in boggy or inundated areas
