V-100 with M-60 Searchlight
Some time ago somebody wanted to see a photo of a V-100 with an M-60 searchlight. Well here it is; an M-706E2 USAF model in Vietnam. Has an early 40mm launcher on board as well. Hope this posts right...

M60 Search light
I have a search light similar to that one that I adapted to fit the TOW base plate on my HMMWV. I was told it was off of a M60 tank but it looks a little different. IT is a AN/VSS-3
Still looking for one of the connectors for the search light in order to get it up and running.
I think thats the first picture I've seen of a search light mounted to anything other than a tank.

The USAF used V-100's for base security in Vietnam. This would be a great way to light up remote areas of the base, before the days of common NV usage. Surprised more weren't used.

Is that the Honeywell hand crank 40mm? A friend told me they had some of those on his PBR for a while, he said he was never very good with it but some of his crew became expert "automatic" grenadiers.

Yes, a Honeywell Mk18 Mod 0. Never did work very well according to reports.

B3.3T, do you have any close up pics of the Cad-Gage spotlights used on the V100/V150?
Cheers
Edit- I attached the picture from B3.3T's link above for "one stop shopping" convenience, and in case the link dies.
It's a bit tatty, it is missing the horn, the fuel cap armoured cover, and all the tires are mounted the wrong way around! (At least the three I can see).
