This is the Turret Traverse Gearbox !!

The Striker I recently sold (after a two year restoration.. 07FF95) to a "Buyer" in Canada was in the first Gulf war.. the new owner has a picture of it firing a Swingfire missile in the Gulf. He has got hold of a selection of photos from the actual Commander of the vehicle !

Before I sold it I produced this brief video focusing on the Swingfire Missile

Fired up instantly... sounds great ! (full blog of ongoing restoration here... http://alvissabre.blogspot.co.uk/)

Thanks you very much for taking the trouble to film all this and then post it.

Was just looking at the tender listing but there's only limited info there.

Still not sure if there's any Land Rover there worth bidding on.

 

The two Land Rover Station Wagons look like they are non military which would make them less interesting for us all.

 

Your film is the next best thing to being there. Thanks again!

I've yet to experience more pain from being pulled from a turret with a track rope around me. And i've had kidney stones 5 times :undecided:.

 

Cheers for the painful memories Pdonovan
