The Bonnie went to the beach scrappers and the mysterious Indian Naval vessel was in fact the Vikrant. Vey similar in appearance. My father was on board prior to leaving the Navy and when the saw this gem on the seas, they blew a gasket as the rumour was it was the Bonnie.
Sorry to say, but the baby was converted to commercial goods. Now, if we want war stories. The 40 mm Boffons, (singles)my grandfather operated them in WW II, my father in the 60-79‘s and I in the 80‘s. The Ones in Germany did come off the Bonnie.
The Centurions, pretty easy to track if you have the time. Send off a letter to the Israelis and ask for the origins and serial numbers of their Centurion fleet. The battle tanks of Brit origin maintained right of line for war stock, and the Canuck were ‘Extra‘s‘ so to speak and were used for various mod‘s and projects.
The Swiss will similarily have no prob releasing this info now as well. The had a superb Centurion fleet and the turrets were a bonus as it allowed their static gunners to train with the tracked guys.
It‘s out there, just how much time do you have to do research. Even a lot of the US doc‘s of the day are slowly becoming open source, heck their are some on the net now. Try Israeli Tanks Centurion.
And don‘t even go near the LAV 3‘s with guns, egads. Next up will be selling cookies door to door to buy blue berets and pay for camping trips.
Ciao for now.
