The L16 81mm mortar has been a mainstay in the arsenals of the British Army, Royal Marines, and RAF Regiment since its introduction in the mid-1960s.
Operated by a three-person crew, it provides versatile indirect fire support, capable of delivering high-explosive, smoke, and illumination rounds up to a range of 5,650 meters. The mortar's design allows for rapid deployment and sustained fire, with a rate of up to 15 rounds per minute.
This pewter statue serves as a meaningful keepsake for veterans, serving personnel, or military enthusiasts, commemorating the vital role of the L16 81mm mortar in various conflicts and its contribution to modern warfare.
Each statue offers the option of free engraving, allowing for personalisation to honour specific individuals or units. Please specify text before Adding to Basket
