Evolution of the #VickersMG spare parts box, case and wallet contents 1914-1960

[Richard Fisher]

In this long video we track the development of the spares and tools carried with the Vickers machine gun (in British, Empire and Dominion service) from 1914 to 1960. Each iteration goes through what was added, removed, moved or nomenclature changed with a brief description as to why this had happened. It also includes some detail on the developments of parts and tools themselves.

As you will see, this is a extremely detailed and in-depth video that helps us share some of the knowledge we have in the Association. Please do support us through www.patreon.com/vickersmg or www.buymeacoff.ee/vickersmg and ensure that we can continue to dedicate our time and effort to this kind of activity. We will share screenshots of each of the iterations, along with the manual pages and our research notes as part of the Patreon posts and on our website at Spare parts and tools
