South Africa has
had a long and august relationship with the Vickers MMG and to a lesser
extent, other Vickers Models with the Vickers MMG serving the Country in both
its .303 BRT and unique 7.62mm NATO variants for over 40 years. (See the Vickers in South African Service). Although South
Africa has now destroyed her remaining stocks of Vickers MMG, the Country is
blessed with a group of ardent Vickers preservationists the leading lights of
which are SAAACA Gauteng Members, who are, passionately dedicated to the
preservation of the small number of Guns that remain in private Collections
and continue to research and contribute to the World Wide knowledge pool of
these unique and interesting Arms. To this end
and in line with SAAACA Gauteng's stated mission and research initiatives, an
anonymous Register of all surviving Vickers Guns has been created in small
contribution to the World Wide and South African Research effort for these
unique Arms. Keepers and
Owners of all Vickers Guns are asked to anonymously contribute data of the
surviving Guns in their care to the Register which is freely maintained by
SAAACA Gauteng and made available to all interested persons, via the SAAACA
Gauteng Website. Your
contribution, however small, is greatly appreciated and will contribute to
the knowledge pool for these Arms. |
