Default Sights

Colin,

Just truly amazing work.

Interesting photo of the crew commander, in looking at the photo it raises a question in respect to the sight. Does the manual specify Sight No.41 (or No.141 for Australian production)?

Sight No.141 (25 pdr - on right) does not have any writing in the reticle but it does not have the range drum on the top which is present in the photo, where as other sights in the series do have these drums (No.289 (2pdr) the example on the left) in various configurations.

These series of sights all have the same body but different reticles and adjustments. So there may be a specific sight for the Vickers Light Tank?
