Re: RUK-museum in Hamina
It's the first time I hear about the meaning of yellow colour. I believe it's just an imitation of varnished wood colour.

Re: RUK-museum in Hamina
As I know, Finnish Army typically uses yellow colour to mark training equipment. Some guns of collection of Suomen Tykistömuseo in Hämeenlinna have yellow wheels.Esa Muikku wrote:It's the first time I hear about the meaning of yellow colour.

Re: RUK-museum in Hamina
I managed to clarify the coordinates 76 ItK/29B AA gun in Hamina. So, 60° 33' 58.13" N 27° 11' 47.91" E
I attach the scheme and two photos. One from the Kaivokatu 1, another from the Sibeliuskatu 11. The gun can be seen clearly. It remains to find the location of two 122 H 09-30 howitzers with mortar (photo by Juha).

Re: RUK-museum in Hamina
Juha, thank you. This is definitely the place. I also just found it! 60° 33' 55.68" N 27° 12' 18.82" E
Do you know the type of the mortar? May be it is 120 Krh/40?

I spent a little searching and now I'm almost sure - 120 Krh/40. A little later, I will revise my table.Juha Tompuri wrote:Might be, I don't know for sure.kluz wrote:Do you know the type of the mortar? May be it is 120 Krh/40?
