Mike C Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Does anyone have any paperwork on how the No.71 Mk.1 Sighting Telescope is used on a Centurion tank or Centurion tank equipment, please? The markings on the scope are: No.71 Mk.1 OS3781A AVL 1954 And it is described as a 'Verifier, Aim, FV131900' for Medium Tank Centurion. Been through all my Centurion paperwork and come up with ... nothing. Would appreciate some help please. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Mike I think that the data summary, technical description, mods & inspection standards would be covered in EMER INSTRUMENTS. My earliest EMER INSTRUMENTS index is 1972 so it doesn't go back far enough, but Telescope, sighting No.73 is in section S 730-739. So I expect No.71 would be close to that section. I think that the REME Museum is one of the few places that might hold such an EMER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Thanks Clive, I'll ask the museum, which looks like a response may take some time. In the meantime, if anyone has info, I'd appreciate it. Thanks Mike Edited May 7, 2022 by Mike C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
