Hi All,

I'm trying to get hold of precise dimensions to make two replicas of the Mk.46 torpedo. I can find details of overall length & diameter but nothing regarding the various angles/shapes involved.

Anyone got any ideas?

Regards

Nigel

Ummmmm unless its a field mod :p, the Torp parts were bought at a scrap yard years ago in WA and are now in shed storage for when I get a surplus f-111 or orion or even a Collins Sub ....now that would look good parked in the Bribie Passage.

Think Amberly might have a few Pigs spare at the moment.There are Caribous siiting in a paddock out here,nah the torps would have to go in reverse to keep up with them.
Collins in the Bribie passage,now that would upset the kite surfers dude :D

Hi Ausflyboy,

Would it be possible for you to send a few pics with details & measurements?

There is a little aviation museum at Davidstow Airfield in Cornwall that, I believe, have a complete Mk46 practice weapon.
Might be worth an enquiry.

Mk 46 Torpedo

The Davidstow Airfield and Cornwall at War Museum has a Mk44 torpedo on its trolley under the Fairy Gannet. It was a lightweight torpedo that was used until superceded by the Mk 46.
You've probably solved your problem by now but if I can help further PM me.
