Zeroing the No4(T) and No32 MK3 /III for the first time Part 2

[Gil Boyd]

From information we hold at the Airborne Forces Museum this was a photo taken on the 19th May 1944 of Snipers of the 6th Airborne Division at Bulford Camp on a Royal Visit.

The photo of Captain Malindine wass one unconneccted as he waas a member of the Army Film & Photographic Unit.
Hope that helps.

Gil,

Any info on how the Para snipers dropped with their kit. I assume rifle went in the leg bag, and somewhere on their person in their jump rig they stashed the scope/bracket in its case (in either version). Just wondering where/how they stashed the scope can on them when jumping?
I guess the air-landing snipers had a slightly easier job in that regard going in a glider if crashing in a Horsa could be considered an easy option...!!
