It's a Spit 21!!!!

Funked,

No, that's a rail mounted artillery piece.

This is a Spitfire F.21:

The boy's got Spitfire 21 on the brain. He's not right, if you catch my drift.

Funked is just jealous 'cause germans had bigger guns than Britons.

Beautiful plane, the spit 21.

a color photo from WW1??

I'm pretty sure that they used Naval guns and machined them for Railmounts. Usually Krupp works did the job. Now known as Krup, imagine that, Artillery makers prior to WWII and now coffee makers and other home appliances.

AFAIK they still manufacture guns like one in M1A1 Abrams.

edit:uups, that one was developed by Rheinmetall...

how did they aim that? hope the track points the right way?

kraquen · « **Reply #14 on:** April 19, 2002, 03:55:34 PM »

a closer look makes it seem like it's suspended between 2 cars... it may have some sort of slide on each car that lets it aim ~20 degrees in either direction
