Instructors Lesson Precis for teaching Driver AFV 3 and 1: Saladin Armoured Car, Driving & Maintenance School, Royal Armoured Corps Centre — Original Issue Publication: Bovington Camp, Dorset, Driving & Maintenance School, Royal Armoured Corps Centre, 1970 Formatting: 4to, pp. [approx. 100]. Condition Report: Good. The original printed card wraps remain securely attached but exhibit the expected signs of age and utilitarian field use, including overall age-toning, light surface soiling, and minor edge-wear with a few tiny nicks along the stapled spine edge. The three-point side-stapled binding is thoroughly sound, though the wire staples show noticeable surface oxidation consistent with age. Internally, the text block is well-preserved; the pages are largely crisp and legible, displaying only occasional light handling marks and faint peripheral toning. Crucially, the detailed mechanical diagrams remain sharp and entirely unmarked. Catalogue Note: This is a highly uncommon piece of original Cold War-era British military instructional ephemera. Originally classified as 'Restricted' and bearing the explicit warning that its contents were not to be communicated to the press or unauthorised persons, manuals of this nature were typically intended for internal depot use and subsequent destruction or return. The text is extensively illustrated with detailed mechanical cross-sections and technical diagrams, such as the exhaust valve assembly and wheel case, essential for the hands-on instruction of Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) drivers. Surviving examples of these specific lesson precis are notably scarce on the open market today, as they were printed in limited numbers exclusively for use by instructors at the spiritual home of the Royal Armoured Corps in Dorset. It presents a fascinating primary source for military historians and vintage armoured vehicle enthusiasts alike. Step into the turret of British Cold War military history with this authentic, originally restricted instructional manual for the legendary Alvis FV601 Saladin Armoured Car. Compiled by the Driving & Maintenance School at Bovington Camp, this meticulous lesson precis was designed to train the British Army's elite Armoured Fighting Vehicle drivers. From the intricacies of the fluid coupling and transfer boxes to the exact starting up procedures, this document offers an unparalleled, nuts-and-bolts look at the operation of one of the era's most iconic six-wheeled reconnaissance vehicles.
