  1. Yes! would be neat if we could figure out the unconfirmed ones. Mine is a Scorpion, and it looks like the only unconfirmed Scorpion is 24A. Based on this list of found Scorps so far though, I don't think the list is correct. I thought it was interesting though that my exact VRN was listed among that list though, which makes me wonder what the source on that list was. I sent a message to the guy on that other forum who had that list of VRNs of supposed Scorpions to see what his source was just to see, haven't heard a response though. I also sent a message to the Household Cavalry Museum Archive as well, they took a look for my VRN and tried to search archives for the VRNs of the Scorps used in the Falklands and they found nothing. Was nice of them to look and I appreciated their help. They pointed me to the Eden Camp in Yorkshire as a possible source of information on the vehicles used as they have one of the Scorpions and two of the Scimitars, so I contacted them a few days ago but have yet to hear back from them, although I do wonder if the vehicles they discovered was known to be Falklands CVRTs based on the research done on this forum in that thread!
  2. Been looking for information on my Scorpion with the VRN 04 FD 46 I am curious if anyone has information or photos of it's time in service. What I do know: It was part of the 1st Royal Tank Regiment at some point. It was part of the Exercise Bold Guard 1986 in West Germany. I pieced together this history based on some writings came with the vehicle and from what I can tell looking up the VRN on merlinarchive: It was with 4th troop B squadron 16/5th Queen Royal Lancers in Tidworth around 1984 Was transferred to the 13th/18th Royal Hussars in November of 1986 Was transferred to the Queens Dragoons Guards in May 1991, could have stayed with them till 94 A piece of paper I got with claimed it was deployed in the following regions: West Germany 1974-1977 Beirut 1983 Cyprus 1987, 1989, 1990 I'm not entirely sure how accurate all of that information is. I haven't found any photos of it anywhere when it was in service, wondering if anyone has anything or if this is as about as much info as there is out there on the vehicle. When I googled the VRN I came across this forum post listing out the VRNs of the Scorpions used in the Falklands, but none of the VRNs he lists match up to any of the known Scorpions so I don't think this list is accurate in anyway (https://pienoismallit.net/galleria/malli_12837/) Any help is appreciated! Here's a photo of my Scorpion
