The UK also supplied extensive material assistance to US forces stationed in Europe, for example the USAAF was supplied with hundreds of Spitfire Mk V and Mk VIII fighter aircraft.

ANITA Mk VIII.

These were the ANITA Mk VIII at the Business Efficiency Exhibition in London, United Kingdom, from 2nd.

The ANITA Mk VII was marketed in continental Europe while the ANITA Mk VIII was marketed in Britain and the rest of the world, both for delivery from early 1962.

The Mk VII was a slightly earlier design with a more complicated mode of multiplication and was soon dropped in favour of the simpler Mark VIII version.

An early example of what would now be termed a head-up display was the Projector System of the British AI Mk VIII air interception radar fitted to some de Havilland Mosquito night fighters, where the radar display was projected onto the aircraft's windscreen along with the artificial horizon, allowing the pilots to perform interceptions without taking their eyes from the windscreen.

It converted to the Boeing Fortress Mk. II in July 1942, allowing long range patrols over the Atlantic, moving to the Azores during October 1943, before returning to the United Kingdom for re-equipping with the Consolidated Liberator Mk. VI, later augmented by the Liberators Mk. VIII.

In 7. 62 × 51 mm NATO, M852 Match and M118LR ammunition are issued, both of which use Sierra MatchKing bullets ; in 5. 56 × 45mm NATO, those U. S. Navy and U. S. Marine snipers who use accurized M16-type rifles are issued the Mk 262 Mod 0 cartridge developed jointly by Black Hills Ammunition and Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center, using a bullet manufactured by Sierra Bullets that was cannelured according to military specifications for this project.

Cross-sectional images of Mk VIII ammunition indicate that its boat-tail bullet was long and gently tapered, providing a very high ballistic coefficient.

As a consequence of the official prohibition, ordnance personnel reported that every man that could get his hands on Mk VIII ammunition promptly used it in his own rifle.

Note: standard Japanese ball ammunition was very similar to the British Mk 7 cartridge.

The boat-tailed bullet design of Mk 8 ammunition is not in itself a problem.

The cumulative effects of firing Mk 8 ammunition through rifles were known of during the Second World War, and British riflemen were ordered to avoid using it, except in emergencies.

The SAM-R has a standard M16A1 single-stage trigger installed, which allows limited use as an automatic rifle, ammunition permitting ( See Mk 262 Mod 1 ), but there also have been examples using Knight's Armament ( henceforth referred to as KAC ) two-stage match triggers.

The ADEN Mk 5 became the basis for the planned ADEN 25, which was to be a somewhat larger weapon ( length:, weight: ) firing the new range of NATO 25 mm ammunition ( as in the American GAU-12 Equalizer ) at a much higher muzzle velocity of.

It was introduced in 1898 for use against " savages ", but fell quickly from favour due to concerns of breaching the Hague Convention's international laws on military ammunition, and was replaced in 1900 by re-issued Mk II pointed-bullet ammunition.

In aircraft carriers, the magazines are required to store not only the aircraft carrier's own defensive weapons, but all of the weapons for her warplanes, including rapid-fire gun ammunition, air-to-air missiles such as the Sidewinder missile, air-to-surface missiles such as the Maverick missile, Mk 46 ASW torpedoes, Joint Direct Attack Munitions, " dumb bombs ", HARM missiles, and antiship missiles such as the Harpoon missile and the Exocet missile.

Maximum range with 105 mm Fd Mk 1 ammunition was 15 km, Mk 2 gave 17. 4 km.

Each Abbot was supported by a fully amphibious Stalwart Mk 2 High Mobility Load Carrier that carried additional ammunition.

There was also a coastal artillery battery with four Mk X 9. 2 " guns and a network of bunkers and ammunition stores, northeast of the lighthouse on the road to St Margarets.

U. S. ammunition manufacturers such as Winchester-Western supplied 380 / 200 Mk I cartridges to British forces throughout the war.

The ammunition to be used was the 105 mm Fd Mk 2 ammunition used in the L13 ordnance of the " Gun Equipment 105 mm L109 " ( better known as the Abbot self-propelled gun ).

An early requirement was for the new weapon to use 105mm Fd Mk 1 ammunition, which uses the M1 shell, in training.

The 105 mm Fd Mk 2 ammunition has two propelling cartridges and a blank cartridge ( for saluting purposes ).

In 1918, the British Mk V tank was capable of carrying a small number of troops and in 1944, the Canadian general Guy Simonds ordered the conversion of redundant armoured vehicles to carry troops ( generically named " Kangaroos ").

Later the British also developed a version of the Mk. VI light tank armed with 4 machine guns that was known as Light Tank AA Mk. I.

And also a twin 15 mm version based on the Light Tank Mk. V was built.

This was mitigated by adding considerable torsional rigidity to the wings, and was wholly cured when the Mk. XIV was introduced.

Ships with the Mk 26 GMLS, and late marks of the Mk 10 GMLS aboard the " Belknap "- class, could accommodate ASROC in these power-loaded launchers ( the Mk 13 GMLS was not able to fire the weapon, as the launcher rail was too short ).

A replacement for Blue Steel, the Mark 2, was planned with increased range and a ramjet engine, but was cancelled in 1960 to minimise delays to the Mk. 1.

Officially titled Rifle, No. 5 Mk I, it was introduced in the closing months of World War II, but did not see widespread service until the Korean War, the Mau Mau uprising, and the Malayan Emergency.

The Lola proposal was chosen, since Lola had used a Ford V8 engine in their mid-engined Lola Mk 6 ( also known as Lola GT ).

The Mk I was the original Ford GT40.

It was later upgraded to Mk II specifications with a 7. 0 liter ( 427ci ) engine and a standard four ratio Kar Kraft gearbox, however the car kept specific features such as its open roof and lightweight chassis.

The Mk III was a road-car only, of which 7 were built.

As the Mk III looked significantly different from the racing models many customers interested in buying a GT40 for road use chose to buy a Mk I that was available from Wyer Ltd.

1967 Ford GT40 Mk IV, which was developed from the J-car

Therefore a more conventional but significantly more aerodynamic body was designed for the subsequent development of the J-car which was officially known as the GT40 Mk IV.
