AlienFTM Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 okay can anyone confirm the age of my Saracen, who do i contact at the army these days for the details... My Saracen is 24 PA 25 mk5 d. You sure that shouldn't read 24 BA 25? Would be more consistent with the age of the vehicle: I think others younger than me will tell you the Army never got up to PA. But I could be wrong as usual.

paulob1 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 difficult to tell if it is pa or BA but from what you say i guess it must be BA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrynevuk Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 You need to contact David Fletcher at Bovingdon Tank Museum. They have the record cards for armoured vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulob1 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 must use glasses and use daylight to check vin plates...the number is 84BA25...which seems to make it out as a mk2 but I cannot confirm this, it was upgraded in 1974...is that about right..I have told Bovingdon and hope to have it sorted now.

Doing a web search the registration 84BA25 suggests you have a Saracen Mk5 APC???? How does that figure.... VRNARMY.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
