Today we returned and salvaged everything that was of value. Due to the recent heat & dry weather we had to use a generator and angle grinders; however, it rained most of the day.
they had a 8BA engine for it, but it was junk.
There was a modification to the front of the hull, with 2 rods welded in front of the drivers vision shutter. These are for additional track as you can see the wear marks in the armour hull.
There was also a rectangular bracket in the LHR hull, next to the air scoop. I thought it was for a bren magazine chest but it is too short. I have seen this modification on 4 hulls now. Anyone know what it is for?
