Progress in Delivering the British Army's Armoured
AVF0014 Written evidence submitted by Nicholas Drummond “Progress in Delivering the British Army’s Armoured Vehicle Capability.” Nicholas Drummond Defence Industry Consultant and Commentator Aura Consulting Ltd. ______________________________________________________________________________ _________ Contents Section 1 - Introduction Section 2 - HCDC questions 1. Does the Army have a clear understanding of how it will employ its armoured vehicles in future operations? 2. Given the delays to its programmes, will the Army be able to field the Strike Brigades and an armoured division as envisaged by the 2015 SDSR? 3. How much has the Army spent on procuring armoured vehicles over the last 20 years? How many vehicles has it procured with this funding? 4. What other capabilities has the Army sacrificed in order to fund overruns in its core armoured vehicles programmes? 5. How flexible can the Army be in adapting its current armoured vehicle plans to the results of the Integrated Review? 6. By 2025 will the Army be able to match the potential threat posed by peer adversaries? 7. Is the Army still confident that the Warrior CSP can deliver an effective vehicle capability for the foreseeable future? 8. To what extent does poor contractor performance explain the delays to the Warrior and Ajax programmes? 9. Should the UK have a land vehicles industrial strategy, and if so what benefits would this bring? 10. What sovereign capability for the design and production of armoured vehicles does the UK retain? 11. Does it make sense to upgrade the Challenger 2 when newer, more capable vehicles may be available from our NATO allies? 12. What other key gaps are emerging within the Army’s armoured vehicle capability? 13. -

The Role of Chinese Labour Corps in Repairing and Maintaining British
Published in Surveying and Built Environment, Vol. 21, Issue 12 (Dec. 2011), 12-20. (ISSN 1816-9554) Chinese Eyes on British Tanks: Historical Verification of a War Heritage Lee Ho Yin ______________________________________________ ABSTRACT This paper is about a British military tradition with a Chinese connection. It has taken the author several years of research to dispel the myth that has long shrouded the true origins of a regimental tradition of the 1st Royal Tank Regiment of the British Army. This tradition is a pair of eyes, known as the "Chinese Eyes," painted on the bows or turrets of British tanks from World War I to the present day. As such, the "Chinese Eyes" can be regarded as an intangible heritage expressed on the tangible hardware of the British Army. Using the research methodology for architectural conservation, the author attempts to rediscover obscured historical evidence, using it to chronologically reconstruct the events leading to the creation of this tradition. KEYWORDS Military heritage, historical research, interpretation, authenticity. Director, Architectural Conservation Programme (ACP), Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong. E-mail: [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION: METHODOLOGY AND ORIGINS OF RESEARCH It is a little known fact that British tanks, produced in the thousands during World War I, were cared for by the skillful hands of the Chinese Labour Corps.1 Who would have thought that there is such a seemingly improbable connection between Chinese men and British war machines? More incredibly, who would have thought that a Chinese individual – an individual with an indirect link with Hong Kong – was responsible for creating a famous military tradition of British tanks – a pair of eyes, known as the "Chinese Eyes" that have been painted on British tanks since World War I. -
Hornet Fv1620
HORNET FV1620 Clive Elliott explains how the development of the Hornet missile launcher. The Hornet missile launcher was developed under the FVRDE design specification FV1620. Depending on the stage of development the vehicle was identified as: Truck, 1 Ton, Armoured Launcher, 4x4, Humber. Launcher, Guided Missile, Truck Mounted. Truck, 1 Ton, Airportable Launcher, 4x4. Launcher, Guided Missile, Truck Mounted (Malkara) Armoured, 1 Ton, 4x4, Humber Hornet. The Humber 1-Ton trucks were introduced in the early 1950s and were designated by the Fighting Vehicle Research & Development Establishment (FVRDE) as the FV1600 series. They demonstrate how a wide range of variants can be based on a cargo truck. Other 1-Ton trucks of the time, like the Austin K9 (FV16000 series) and Morris MRA/1 (FV16100 series) were based on a commercial chassis, but the Humber was developed exclusively for military use and was the only ‘standardised’ 1-Ton truck. Standardised, means that it has some components that are shared with other standardised vehicles such as Champ, Ferret, Saracen etc. Of all the Humber variants the armoured version known as the Pig saw the longest service and is the most widely known variant. But the most ingenious variant must be the Hornet (FV1620) which became the launch vehicle for the Malkara Anti-Tank Guided Weapon (ATGW). The adoption of Malkara by the British Army spawned a range of other Humber variants to supply, test and repair the Malkara system. It has been said that the Hornet was a rather improvised vehicle and that a better launch vehicle could have been designed. -

BAOR July 1989
BAOR ORDER OF BATTLE JULY 1989 “But Pardon, and Gentles all, The flat unraised spirits that have dared On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth So great an object….” Chorus, Henry V Act 1, Prologue This document began over five years ago from my frustration in the lack of information (or just plain wrong information) regarding the British Army of The Rhine in general and the late Cold War in particular. The more I researched through books, correspondence, and through direct questions to several “Old & Bold” on Regimental Association Forums, the more I became determined to fill in this gap. The results are what you see in the following pages. Before I begin a list of acknowledgements let me recognize my two co-authors, for this is as much their work as well as mine. “PM” was instrumental in sharing his research on the support Corps, did countless hours of legwork, and never failed to dig up information on some of my arcane questions. “John” made me “THINK” British Army! He has been an inspiration; a large part of this work would have not been possible without him. He added the maps and the color formation signs, as well as reformatting the whole document. I can only humbly say that these two gentlemen deserve any and all accolades as a result of this document. Though we have put much work into this document it is far from finished. Anyone who would like to contribute information of their time in BAOR or sources please contact me at [email protected]. The document will be updated with new information periodically. -
Neptune Wrecks Project Report
NEPTUNE WRECKS PROJECT REPORT Foreword Members of Southsea Sub-Aqua Club are proud to present this NEPTUNE Wrecks report as a record of all of the activities and investigations into local wrecks in the Portsmouth to Selsey Bill area. The project was a natural follow-on to our highly successful Tanks and Bulldozers investigations of 2008 and concerns a number of wrecks believed to be associated with the maritime phase of the WW2 Invasion of Normandy (Operation NEPTUNE). This report is testament to what individuals and/or groups of divers can achieve with the help and support of others. These wrecks are not the ancient wooden ships of long ago or the valuable treasures that grab the public attention, but they are associated with tragedies of a more modern era – a time of war, conflict and ultimately victory which have a real and direct relevance to the vast majority of people along the South Coast and beyond. Below the water these reminders of the valiant efforts of the men involved in the largest ever maritime invasion are not evident to many and we aim to share with others the results of our efforts so that their contribution in history is not forgotten. Alison Mayor Project Leader - NEPTUNE Wrecks Southsea Sub-Aqua Club BSAC 0009 31 May 2010 All enquiries about the content of this report should be addressed to Alison Mayor, Southsea Sub-Aqua Club. email [email protected] or Fort Widley, Portsdown Hill Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire PO6 3LS.
