A Gunbuggy called 'Disestablishment'

[AGAS 5]

No ARN, but a gunbuggy called 'Disestablishment' from B Sqn 3/4 Cav Regt. Photo taken during a live fire battle run at High Range Training Area in 1982.

Although similar to, this is not the photo in the Paul Handel collection.

Got to love all that brass on the bonnet...

Thx Pete.

I would be more interested in what's in the shoulder holster, cheers Dennis 

[AGAS 5]

Just the stock Browing 9mm I'd imagine 

The leather holster was common amongst Armoured Corps.

Cheers.

I want to know more about that gun mount. Is it off a Huey door gunner? ( not from a bushranger )

[AGAS 5]

The 30 Cal mg was not mounted in the huey.... so that's not likely.

I would look at modified M113 or Centurion tank 30 Cal mounts.

Cheers.

I think AGAS5 has it: almost certainly the .30 cal Crew Commander's mount from a Centurion.

Cheers guys, was aware the .30cal wasn't a door gunner armament ( apart from early UH experiments and sub systems ), was more talking about the frame the .30 cal is sitting on.
The cradle is ex Cent but what about the swing frame ( if that's what it is ) that the cradle is connected to? Just unit made or something like a Sagami mount?

Similar to this do you think?
