Welcome to the 13.5 inch /45 (34.3 cm) naval gun Talk Page[edit]

This page has been modelled on the 15 inch /42 (38.1 cm) Mark I naval gun stub; thanks to all who have contributed to that resource. John Moore 309 16:26, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boche Buster : 18 inch howitzer ?[edit]

My info is that Boche Buster (the railway carriage from WWI that originally carried a 14 inch Mk III gun) carried an 18 inch howitzer in WWII, not a 13.5 inch gun, and that this did not have the range to fire across the Channel. It covered potential invasion routes on the Kent coast. My sources are I.V. Hogg, Dale Clarke, Simon Stevin Vlaams Vestingbouwkundig Centrum (http://www.geocities.com/wmfanr1/WMF-home.htm) and this thread at Armchair General, where the folks do serious research : http://www.armchairgeneral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38099&page=270 Rcbutcher Rcbutcher (talk) 13:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Talkin' Turkey[edit]

I read here Turkey bought some ex-Tiger 13.5s. Can anybody confirm? Worth a mention? (I'd also wonder what price was paid...) TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 10:44, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tony DiGiulian ( http://navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_135-45_mk5.htm ) reports that they were not actually delivered. I presume the approach of war affected this, as they may have been needed for home defence. Rcbutcher (talk) 11:10, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
