Hi Peter

Heres a bit from "The Devons" by Jeremy Taylor, 1951.

1. Love that investiture photograph; great for patch spotting, and do we know who he is?

2. The wheels on the rotor click into place. The twin Oerlikon turret AA Crusader was redeveloped from a (very) high-sided 40mm Bofors mount and the radios were moved into the hull.

So, we have a confirmed AA (looking) variant tank in a confirmed A/T regiment - I think a group effort may have cracked it; a field-adapted command tank?

(I say field-adapted as I can't find any paperwork on an 'official' version).

Thanks to everyone who has been kind enough to offer assistance with this query. I will update once I have had the chance to speak to great uncle Alf.

Regards to all,

Peter.
