Re: APC Development and related topics.
Well it's official as of today, British MOD has awarded the
FRES SV portion of the program to General Dynamics. Theirs was the SV using the ASCOD-2 as the platform (The turret contract was already awarded w/the 40mm case mounted gun.) The rest of the FRES program could be in jeopardy to budget issues. Again see post #1. Article as reported from London Times:

Re: APC Development and related topics.
John,
Thanks for the concern, we had a great weekend, and no asylum was needed! Figured you were tied up. Was going to post the news from the Telegraph as well but deleted the post by accident. Seems this decision has upset many in regards to England maintaining it's own tank making capacity and a lot of online info to suggest many in the Army preferred the CV-9035 MKIII over the ASCOD-2. Politics "ain't" it wonderful!?!
Here's some pics of the winner:
 
Regards,
Pat

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Just got home from work, checked in on the forum, when that nagging voice had me recheck my last post #40. Well my apologies too everyone, I got my photo info reversed, the model shows the original turret, the photo is actually the improved "protected" turret. Notice the difference at the point where the gun is mounted. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Regards,
Pat
