Can anyone identify the tactical marking on this FV434? … ‘24D’ in inverted yellow triangle.
Also, what would be the correct bridge classification?
Thanks,

Paul

A Sqn’s LAD ARV for the smaller wagons. Bridge class was about 17 or 19 I think.

19, judging by photos like this:

Many FV 434s in private hands also seem to have 19, but I wouldn’t trust those to be correct without in-service photos to confirm it.

Thought it was something like that. I rarely trust anything done on a privately owned ex armoured wagon …

Or 18 ?

Thanks to you all for your informative responses. Yes, ‘19’ seems to be the appropriate bridge class number.
