That's the gun to the left rear Lynn. The shielded gun is the one in the right foreground by the tanks and I think it is a 37mm bofors

Is the Vickers light tank the same tank that Colin Jones has now?

A terrific look back.

If it is painted white , it was used in a TV advert in the late 1970's. I think it was for MUIRS, a long defunct store that sold furniture or similar .

I first laid eyes on the collection in 1976, during a VMVC XMAS outing . It was in Lysterfield road then , the extension of Wellington road , going from memory as it was a long time ago !
