Hurricane IID Tank buster

Does anyone have any decent pictures or line drawings of the Vickers 40mm cannons as fitted to the Hurricane IID. ?

There was (is) a 40mm gun installation on display at Hendon.
I don’t remember what it fitted.

I don’t know if this will be of any use to you, but Rolls Royce also produced a 40mm cannon for the Mk.IID. One of these is on display in Derby Industrial Museum, although I think the museum is temporarily closed. An email to the museum or the RRHT might bear fruit.

Yes in my Airfix book on the Hurricane there is quite a good one, do you want me to copy it?

There are drawings in the Hurricane Mk.II Manual, published by Arms&Armour Press.
