pmaasz Posted 21 August , 2008 Share Posted 21 August , 2008 Reading the 3rd Hussars history by Willcox and he refers to the West Gun being issued for trial in 1915, the testing officer being seriously injured in the face by the spring. Searching for 'West Gun' brought only a lot of useless threads. What exactly is this gun? Any pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centurion Posted 21 August , 2008 Share Posted 21 August , 2008 It wasn't a gun but a catapult, covered elsewhere in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmaasz Posted 21 August , 2008 Author Share Posted 21 August , 2008 Many thanks for the link. Very informative. Are you all sure it was West who designed it and not Heath-Robinson? ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T8HANTS Posted 24 August , 2008 Share Posted 24 August , 2008 This is the one in the reserve collection of the IWM, and the colour shot is a recently unearthed West catapult, found in France. I am not jealous, I am not jealous, I am not..........yes I am!! Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
