Modelmaker Posted 2 March , 2020 Share Posted 2 March , 2020 A long time since I contacted the site, however I am looking for some help. As a keen model maker, I am looking for details of the 15" Howitzer. A number of photographs are available on line, also a drawing of the gun, but not overly detailed with some dimensional inaccuracies. There was a company that seems to have ceased trading, D P and G Military Publishers in Doncaster. They had a reprints of manual for a variety of British Ordnance, including the 15". Their catalogue reference is (was): HB 21 15" Howitzer BL MkI Coventry 1916 (1-905265-08-5). Does any body know where there collection has ended up, googling the site turns up a list of auctioneers, so the collection must be somewhere. Any info or ideas !

elliot#1 Posted 4 March , 2020 Share Posted 4 March , 2020 I have seen the large collection from D P and G Military Publishers being auctioned off over the last couple of years by a Yorkshire auctioneers. I would expect to see the books surfacing with dealers if they haven't already done so. Hope that helps! Elliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelmaker Posted 4 March , 2020 Author Share Posted 4 March , 2020 Thanks, I guessed that had happened. They did re-prints of the original manuals, with the drawings and fold outs. I just hope they re-surface, they were an amazing source of accurate info. Fingers crossed. George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
