We Can Fix It! – March 1962
This is an excellent photo showing an Armourer at work. At the nose of the F-86 is the "Armourers Dolley". This 3 wheeled vehicle was specially designed to accommodate the needs of the Sabre Armourer. It was capable of carrying the 6 machine guns - 3 on each side - the 6 ammunition boxes and respective accessories of ammunition and link chutes and gun chargers. In this photo, two 0.50 caliber M3 machine guns are visible on the right side top and centre of the dolley. The Armourer at work on the wing of the Mk 6 Sabre is in all likelihood removing the weapons and accessories for minor maintenance which was carried out in the armament facilities at the squadron dispersal area. Note the breach cover of the top gun is open.
