restoration Scorpion/Scimitar Restoration in New Zealand
challenger replied to philm1's topic in Blogs of MV restorations
The turret inside is complete less the gun guard and striker. The breech block has been tack welded to the breech ring in the closed position, the rest, seats, boxes, sights etc.. all seem to be there. I was in it just before it was placed. -

I cannot see any images, either ones I have posted or anybody else's. Is it me or a general problem?

Yes they will be firing at canvas and wooden targets. Most big calibre weapons have stopped shooting at Hards already.

All these are due for removal from the range. It will start with the ones in the "dead vehicle park" and eventually include all the rest. Hard targets like these just cause to much environmental damage.

00EB31 about the 9th production Chieftain. Now an AVLB and spared death row again. Very unlikely now that this vehicle will ever be shot at. Unusual vehicle that should probably be saved. It is the early configuration of the AVLB as well as being an original gun tank hull.

Centurion ARV - Lulworth. The front end has a large square plate of armour put against. The front of the vehicle is a bit bashed in. More to follow

Chieftain ARV on the range at Lulworth. This one is used as a target mainly for the smaller calibre weapons, mostly 7.62 machines guns of various types.
