flyingfleasteve Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hi All. I thought I would share this lovely piece of history. This is an original Matchless G3L drivers handbook but inside of the front cover it has stamped “9 Airborne, Anti-tank bty, Royal Artillery” and then Subsequently the owners name and registration number? I have tried to do some research but some of the abbreviations are stumping me. Your expertise are most welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welbike Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Wow Steve, that is an intersting find! I have 2 Pack Howitzers, used by the Light Regiment in Arnhem, if you ever want to trade for another drivers handbook, let me know, will pay extra cash, or with parts!
