Re: [OT] Sea Leopard

If I recall correctly it was a prototype AC3 'Sentinal', fitted with two
25
pounder field guns, as you say, for trials for the 17 pounder (as none
were
available in australia at the time.)

The AC1 was fitted with a 2 pounder, the AC2 with a 6 pounder, AC3 wit a
25
pounder and the AC4 with a 17 pounder...

Tremble in fear, Chi-ha, tremble in fear...
