Interesting that the retaining rivets are smaller on this one, compared to the photos that Lex has posted.

Could somebody enlighten me about the fitment of these bulbs to the Centurion tank, I bought this last week at the local carboot, I picked it up and the seller claimed it was for a Centurion tank, so as it was only a £1, I decided to buy it. When I googled the part number, it does say fitted to Centurion tank but I can find no more info than this ? It's claimed it's for a searchlight but I can't find any details/pictures showing this. http://www.lamptech.co.uk/Spec Sheets/D G Xe Thorn XED 2000W.htm

Here's a boundary stone I bought about 10 years ago, from a demolition company, who had taken down a wall and some buildings at Colchester barracks, it measures 18" x 12" and weighs about 18kg, it had been set into the wall that they had taken down.. I've never been able to find any photos of the barracks to see where these stones might have been placed.

Sorry to hear that, if you do find the new owner I'd be grateful, Regards Gary
