. Identification of British Government Items |
|
|
All British Government equipment is identified by the broad headed arrow as shown in the adjacent image. Numbering takes one of a number of forms depending on the camera type. In the example shown the letters A.P. indicate 'Admiralty Pattern' and items so marked were issued to the British Royal Navy, Naval dockyards and other Naval establishments. |
MicroTechnical and S 92 Kits |
|
| This was the Ministry of Defence version of the MkV1, sold rather late in MkV1 production or during MkV11 production. It had all-black finish, the bright edges of the MkV1 body being in black enamel. It was fitted with a finder shoe of unique type, cable-release clamp, and a unique anti-premature closure device buried in the body box. All serial numbers begin 14A/ and are not in the normal MPP series. | |
|
Since there was only limited production for the RAF, on a one-per-base count, the number made will not be very large (possibly 300-500?) and the camera will be scarcer than seems at present as a result of recent M.o.D.sales. Normally this type is available at present. Backs are the same as those for the MicroTechnical Mk VI but has a special register of 0.0187 inch. |
