Default 31 afv

Hi Mike,

I came across a pile of WS No.31 AFV mounting trays (with PSU bracket beside it) in Perth WA about 2001 (Were not for sale)

I have never been able to confirm if these sets were used by the local CMF Armoured Unit, 10th Light Horse Regiment there.

I’m reliably informed by a former RSM that the unit ran Ferrets, Saracens, Humbers etc until about 1971 and apparently they still had WS No.19/SR B47 combinations until their vehicles were handed in for M113A1s.

If true then they must have been about the last Australian Army to use Larkspur and almost certainly the last to use the 19 Set ?

I never found anything related to WS No.88 while I lived there

Cheers

Phill
