Rich Vickers Light Tank AA Mk 1, a stop-gap anti-aircraft tank armed with four 7.92mm Besa machine guns, 15 September 1942.

Nice one, thats new to me!
I've some pics of various experimental Besa mounts, both for ground use and some dedicated AA ones for various numbers of guns.

I'd realy like to get a cheap Vickers tripod and then have one of the 3 or 4 versions of adapter made up.
