fv1609 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 That is good value, yours is £10 cheaper than buying a photocopied version from one of the usual manual outlets which I don't think has the Malkara support supplements that yours has.

Peakrec Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Wonderful reading, gives extra information on all aspects of Humber 1 Ton's. With strip down of components to be seen, storage of spares, tools. Covering all the different Humbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yes & it even has a circuit diagram. I had a spare copy which I sold some years ago but I remember people haggling that they could buy a pristine copy. I had to point out that this was original for sale, not a scanned print to order & that is was cheaper than the print to order copy! Furthermore the print to order copy I believe does not include the 5 supplements that include the Malkara support vehicles. Incidentally this list doesn't include all the Humbers, the Hornet FV1620 list is a whole volume to itself although there is quite a bit of commonality.

Peakrec Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Yes your right Clive, Hornet FV1620 is different and commands a book on its own. I have not seen one yet, but think would be an interesting reference book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Yes it is WO Code No.13606. I had a spare original & photocopy, but I think they got sold at give away prices before I moved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakrec Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Wow, its on my want list, gives me something to hunt for when about. Mainly for historical interest and to see what went into a Hornet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Obviously it included a lot of Humber commonality but being a 1962 document had a lot identical items that were now NATO codified, whereas the same parts used in other Humbers were mainly VAOS catalogued items back in the 1960 documents. Often sellers of books pay little regard to the WO/Army No. so if you are hunting by title using words like Hornet, Humber, Malkara, FV1620 you will have no success. The title description is Launcher, Guided Missile, Truck Mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
