They were designed by Vickers in Britain and produced by all four British artillery manufacturers but mainly by Armstrong and one American company. They were the equivalents of the German 21 cm Morser 16 and in British service were used similarly to he BL 9.2-inch howitzer but were quicker to manufacture and more mobile. They delivered a 200 lb (91 kg) shell to 12,300 yd (7.0 mi; 11.2 km). They had limited service in the British Army in World War II before being converted to the new 7.2 in (180 mm) calibre.<br /> They also equipped a small number of Australian and Canadian batteries in World War I and by the US Army in that war. They were used in small numbers by other European armies.<br /> Source: Wikipedia<br /> <br /> Type Heavy howitzer<br /> Place of origin United Kingdom<br /> <br /> Service history<br /> In service 1916 – 1943 1940 – 1960s (Finland)<br /> Wars World War I World War II Continuation War<br /> <br /> Production history<br /> Designer Vickers-Armstrongs<br /> Designed 1915<br /> <br /> Manufacturer List of<br /> manufacturers<br /> Vickers-Armstrongs<br /> Beardmore<br /> Woolwich<br /> Midvale Steel<br /> Major assemblies by<br /> Hadfield and Beyer,<br /> Peacock &amp; Company<br /> Developed into BL 7.2-inch howitzer Mk.I – IV<br /> No. built<br /> UK contracts:<br /> 711 + equivalent<br /> complete equipments.<br /> Specifications<br /> Mass Mk VI:<br /> 19,200 lb (8,700 kg)<br /> Mk VIII:<br /> 20,048 lb (9,094 kg)<br /> Barrel length Mk VI:<br /> 9 ft 9 in (2.972 m) L/14.3<br /> Mk VII, VIII:<br /> 11 ft 6 in (3.505 m) L/17.3<br /> Shell HE<br /> Shell weight 200 lb (90.7 kg)<br /> Calibre 8-inch (203.2 mm)<br /> Breech Welin interrupted screw with Asbury mechanism<br /> Recoil Hydro-pneumatic recuperator, hydraulic buffer<br /> Carriage Wheeled, box trail<br /> Elevation Mk VI: −4° to 50°<br /> Mk VII, VIII: 0° to 45°<br /> Traverse 4° L &amp; R<br /> Muzzle velocity Mk VI: 1,272 ft/s (388 m/s)<br /> Mk VII, VIII: 1,500 ft/s (457 m/s)<br /> Maximum firing range Mk VI:10,400 yd (9,500 m)<br /> Mk VII, VIII: 12,400 yd (11,300 m)<br /> <br /> ©Copyright Notice This photograph and all those within my photostream are protected by copyright.
