Evening Chaps,
One of the areas of particular interest of mine is the use of the Vickers after the Second World War - and even after Korea - as I think it is an are often overlooked, particularly bearing in mind that the gun was in service until 1968 with the British Army and in some cases much longer.
If anybody has any photographs or references to post-war use (particularly in the 1960s) then I would be very interested.
Post-war dated accessories are also of interest. I have a very late (1968) dated Mk 4 slide rule and a set of 1960 range tables which are most interesting.
Thanks,
Richard
