VT ammunition for 25pdr?


Recommended Posts

I have done a search but no joy... smile.gif

According to Hogg, proximity fuzes T97E6 and T97E9 were authorised for use with the 25pdr HE shell with "universal filling". Does anyone know if the British 25pdrs actually used VT ammunition in Europe? - or give some examples of this?

Can anyone point me to a link or book where I can find this info?

Thanks

According to Leslie W.C.S. Barnes in "Canada's Guns":

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>By the end of the war, these (VT) fuses became increasingly available to both Canadian anti-aircraft and field batteries.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>.

No other information is contained, but the implication is that they were not readily available sooner.
