Paul I don't know if you can get a British TV programme called Time Team on Ch 4 (investigating the past) this week they looked at the location of the Battle of Bosworth , where Richard 3rd was killed " A horse a horse my kingdom for a horse" . Well they looked into the part artillery was used and ended up making a working full scale 15th Century cannon . here's a link

Thanks Chippy.
I´ve tried the link but the service is not available here I´ll have a hunt about on you-tube etc...Time Team usually turns up there at some point.
My mother told me about this programme today on the phone...she´s a Medievals, fanatic particually the war of the Roses period and today I bought the Perry multi pose 28mm War of the Roses Infantry and the Perry 1450-1500 Mercenaries!!!!! Syncronicity
Cheers
