Scotties meat chopper.

[scottie3158]

Day late but not a dollar short..........I like it... looks like you will have lots of help and support on this Scottie......I'm on the back row by the door in case I need to intercept Matron.....I'm also close to the fire extinguisher in case JR gets excited Rick H.

Rick,
Good to have you along and keeping an eye out for me. help is always welcomed and needed.

Hi Rick, I'll join you...the extinguisher is under the no smoking sign right? I've got some fire retardant lotion if you'd like to spread some. It's got SPF John on the label.

Cheers,
Richard

Found some good pics from old research. Good pony motor & gun wiring pics.


Good view of turret details & position of battery, radio & antenna.

Vehicles are not normally my thing, but who doesn't like a truck full of guns?!

Two questions.
A) If this is an anti aircraft platform, shouldn't the guns point UP?
2) Why is it called a meat chopper?

Chris,

Not sure but I think it was down to the destructive force of the 4. .50 brownings.

Think infantry assault across open ground against four 50cals. The aftermath was like an abattoir in a field, hence "meat chopper". Pretty gristly. I believe I read somewhere this nickname came about when an M16 was used to support an infantry unit being counterattacked in the bocage. PaulE
