British 1970s onward FV438 Swing fire armoured anti-tank vehicle Weapon Alignment Gauge Sighting Station in box made by British Aerospace Dynamics group, serial number G48-1-82179 with original 'Test results sheet dated 1982'. When FV438s entered service in the 1970s, they were operated by specialised anti-tank units of the British Infantry[citation needed] and Royal Armoured Corps. In 1977, the anti-tank role was transferred to the Royal Artillery, which formed the FV438s into four independent Royal Horse Artillery batteries, one for each Armoured Division in the British Army of the Rhine. In 1984, the Royal Artillery relinquished the anti-tank role and the FV438s were formed into guided-weapon troops (each of 9 vehicles), one for each Armoured Regiment. In unissued condition in box, desert yellow paint.
