Well done Dunc this is getting addictive..
Well I am damned, I never knew they made an Aden in 25mm...I was all set to flame someone there!!
It appears the thing never went into production.
Oddly, this may have answered me a question as I have something very similar in 25mm, but a TP round with a green steel case. It is pristine but the primer has been removed to the powder woudl have gone that way. certainly would explain why it was done to a brand new round.
I have examples of the 30mm Aden and the M778 (TP) round used on the AH64...oddly the same.
A nice thing to have for a good cause.

If it is its not a 25mm Aden its a 25mm KBA naval gun round (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFXYGLkB5Kw). Green case and blue tip marked TP BMO 12-88 (More infor on it in Janes Ammunition Handbook)
This is the other version that doesnt require a man sat in it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaEpI...eature=related . Notice the rounds feeding in the belt system

Hi Chris, looks like you had your wicked way. The shell is yours. Please can you arrange payment to Clifftop, (he has advised me that you are a regular supporter of treats for troops).
Once thats been done, if you pass your address I will get the shell posted to you on Monday. can I say many thanks to all those who had a bid towards a tremendous cause, but special thanks to Chris the winning bidder!

Interesting read,especially when my Dad designed the Aden gun!
I have quite a few of the 30mm shells and he tells me that a variant of the gun is still in use today,cheers,Pat.
In saying yes to this air rifle you are confirming that you are not a messer and are allowed to go out in public without your carer
Shell arrived safe and sound.
Brings back many memories on the drill jig.
