Fox (I THINK) Was Re: UK Sabre CVR(T) type vehicle

I went back and looked around, and the SABRE's turret bears a striking
resemblance to the turret on an armored car called the Fox, which according
to GHQ, left British service in 1996.  This would seem, timeline-wise,
to fit with the earlier comments on this subject. Yes? No?

I do believe you are correct. If mymemory serves, the 30mm gun turret on
the Fox was very similar in appearance (if not identical--never saw one
in person) to the Scimitar turret.

I suppose this means that the Brits have gone to a standardized armament for
their recon units--makes sense.

The Fox turret is (IIRC) more rectangular in overhead view than the
scorpion/scimitar turrets which are multi-faceted (octagonal?).

The Fox was a four-wheeled A/C with a hull rather similar in shape to
the Ferret scout car (but larger).

Yes, it IS, but it looks almost identical to the SABRE turret - Someone
informed me (In answer to an earlier question) that the SABRE uses the
Scorpion hull and the turret off of an old armored car, and I surmised from
pictures that that car might have been the Fox.
