Any turret interior pics would still be much appreciated! Thanks

Petrol if you dont mind

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone has any photos of the CVRT including: Photos of the overall engine bay/frontal area Scimitar interior and turret interior. Many thanks, Charlie.

At the Falklands Victory Parade. Could be something.

Many questions still unanswered, the FOI request I sent did not get anywhere, I might try and request any photos they have of CVRTs in the falklands or on Ascension island during ‘82

Samson callsign was just 28

We have probably got the 05 FD 72 assumptions correct, off merlin archive it is a scimitar, as is 24C. All we need is solid proof or this FOI request to turn something up. Almost fully solved this 13 years on.

03FD84 was a scorpion, now sabre. the cards on merlin archive are pretty illegible though https://merlinarchive.uk/vehicle/03FD84 However, there still is a possibility of it being 03FD34 although there is not much info on it. https://merlinarchive.uk/vehicle/03FD34

I will have a little look on merlin archive later about the 03 FD 84 one. 02 FD 92 is mentioned in my new book and IS a Falklands veteran, and also attended the victory parade. Does not specify callsign.

Thank you, just waiting on a response for the FOI, had one just needed to clarify the time frame.

Got the haynes cvrt book for my birthday (today) Further confirms 24 was the scorpion that was mined. And that it was 02FD76

Ive put a FOI request in to see if there are any official records or anything of the VRMs of the CVRTs sent. Even if they dont have anything its worth a try

Some great information there David, its great that everyone here has banded together over many years to collect all this info!! Onto the search of 24A and 24B…

Thats a great table! thanks for that

So that will make 24 03 FD xx and 24B unknown

Hi im charlie, live in the west midlands (england) really interested in military vehicles and planes.. CVR(T)s are probably my favourite, havent got one (yet). I love the 80s.. even though i was not there.

Thanks mate, ive tried to peice together some info about any of the callsign 24 but all i have is that image and 24/24A.. 24B could either be 03 FD 34 or 03 FD 84? Maybe something like that but i cannot confirm it as that image is quite blurry. All in all there is quite a few survivors around. all of callsign 23 im pretty sure exist? Not too sure about ‘23’ havent seen many photos of it… anyways im no expert at all, just piecing together information here and slamming a lot into google!

Slowly but surely..... this is what i have peiced together... some things dont add up though. The eden camp has 23A , 23B and 23C but not 24A. Scorpion 23: 02 FD 92 Scorpion 23A: 03 FD 38 Scorpion 24: (could be 03 FD ?4 or the one below) Scorpion 24A: 02 FD 76 (got mined in the falklands, i looked on the pics from withams and it had 24A on the back so it wasnt just 24) Scimitar 23B: 06 FD 06 Scimitar 23C: 06 FD 97 Scimitar 24B: (dont know) Scimitar 24C: (looks like 05 FD ?? from a photo) all in all we basically dont have anything on callsign 24, only one number which could be either of 24 or 24A and a part of another number feel free to fill in some gaps image of 24c and others
