"jo hukam"

Its the right size, near enough boss. Wheres me wood?!.. The tubes are five foot long, could do with a supply only got the one length.

Checked my files don't have US torpedo lettering, but the crate markings may be the samesize But this is not a problem as I have the FONT. I cut a stencil and popped it onto a length of raj-rif's pipe as it it the correct size near enough (2.1), but lettering size didn't look right, so I have asked a chap in the States for the correct size, awaiting reply, or has anybody got the correct size? I PM's Cret to see if he has any info on the Brit 2 inch, as his pictures are of the 1.5 inch, (1945?). No reply as yet. Anybody in with RE Museum as they may be able to help?

Im a Royal Engineer!
Unfortunatly I havent been trained on things like this yet and our Staff sgt doesnt seem to know much about the old stuff, but by hell does he know about the new stuff. Ill get in touch with the Royal Engineers musee and try and find out.

Hello

Unfortunally we have a delay with the production of the replica's.
It will take a extra couple of months.
The colour of the bangalore's is Black, the nozes and fuze ends are bronze green.

Greetings

Crets

When there done let me know as I am still really interested.

Cheers
