Authentic drawings from official sources.
Naval Weapons Drawn and those Projected for a Number of Publications.

 

Those Subjects marked *Vol.I, *Vol.II, *Vol.III have been seen in my books
"Allied Coastal Forces of World War II".
Volume I : Fairmile designs,
Volume II . Vosper designs.
Volume III (yet to be completed) will include other company designs, British Power Boats, Camper and Nicholson etc.

Each subject has been redrawn from official sources, either the manufacturer's General Arrangement drawings (Vickers Armstrongs, etc.) or gunnery Manuals (known as BRs- Books of Reference or OUs - Official Use Manuals), aided by my photographic collection, which includes many views taken in Vicker's gun shop at Barrow-in-Furness during the 1930s and 1940s.

The weapons vary in calibre from 9mm up to 4.7". Each mounting has a separate drawing number.
