Response to need pis of chiftain marksman aa

Hi Dave,
I was involved in the trials of Marksman when it went to Saudi Arabia in the mid-nineties, it was a real experience to live-fire the guns. The turret at Duxford is the one used in the trials. As far as I know this is the only trials turret used, and was used on all the British trials as well as the Saudi trial. By the way, the Chieftain hull used at Duxford is not the same one as used on trials. The trials Chieftain hull was 53MS28, the same hull as used for the Sabre turret trails (not the CVRT Sabre turret but another twin 35?mm anti-aircraft turret).
I have some photos of the Marksman fitted to an M60A3 in Saudi if they would be of any use to you drop me an e mail.

Regards Aye

DENNIS
