Tank gunnery training aid.

[servicepub (RIP)]

Here are three images in my library, two are Tanks while the third is artillery but the concept is the same.
The first shows a Trooper of the Fort Garry Horse adjusting the aiming device for a tank barrel - I presume a Ram 6-pdr but I leave the actual identification for those who are more expert than I. This device appears to have been purpose-designed and built.


The next photo shows two tanks each with a Bren jury-rigged to the barrel


The last shows an Enfield mounted on the top of a 6-pdr A/Tk gun in use by the Black Watch (RHC).

Great shots Clive, thank you for sharing them with us. I'm especially intrigued by the first picture which shows a purpose built rifle as opposed to the other pics of service weapons with mounts. I've never seen or heard of this piece of kit so you've given me something to track down more info on. Derek
