Default If it fits, ......

With the adaption of a sleeve into the Vickers mount, the M31 Pedestal mount, seems at home ( after removing the Flare Box ).
Head room for the 'gunner' is unkind - but hey

Of all the complaints the last one to be unhappy with this conversion would be the gunner.....For pure fun value one would need to look long & hard to outclass the punch of a big 50. We had a spare 50 looking for a home & were contemplating putting it in the carrier, now that someone has beaten us to the punch we will need to go one better......... I wonder if the main gun trunnion out of one of the centurions I maintain could be grafted onto the carrier armour....???????
