Sabre 49AT17 and Fox CVR(W) 10FD66, 10FD70

[cpltomo]

Looking for some of my old army toys

First is my old saber 49 at 17

Then two foxes 10 fd 66 and 10 fd 70.

They did look like this when i crewed them

I'm afraid I can't help much. My lists show that 49AT18 and 49AT19 have survived, 10FD67 and 10FD68 have survived and 10FD72 is still around. Can't help with info on your old vehicles though.

Thanks had a look at the alvis site but could not see any of the number s on there. shame if thay were scrapped the sabre was the best one in the sqn.

[Marmite!!]

That's interesting... been told numerous times that the Fox was never fitted with any pintle mounted weapons:confused:

 

[cpltomo]

It was a un offical mod we did to them using spare spotlight brakets. As you can see they work very well. And looked good on the range with the coax gpmg going as well. It was centre mounted betwwen the two turets so either commander or gunner could use it.

We also had the bigger artic bins fitted to the back of the turret.

[Marmite!!]

Thanks for that. Love to see any other Fox photos you have...

 

Got any of my Fox.. 09FD82

Yea it came in handy the artic bin i got mixed up the artic bin was fitted to simiter and sabre. The fox had the otis bin on the back of the turret.

 

Was in "c" sqn (the Cheshire Yeomanry) Queens own yeomanry. Til the big defense shack up they were re rolled with the rmly and made to a Mbt chally 2 regiment.

 

Also put some pics of fox in my gallery. Going though all my old pics at the moment got a far few so will tak ea bit to sort out.
