Military Vehicles Archive Magazine Issue 11 Vorige editie

By dealing with 100 years of wheeled armoured vehicles, you could accuse us of allowing issue number 11 of Kelsey's Military Trucks Archive to stray a little off topic. Nevertheless, there's plenty here to interest the military-vehicle enthusiast. We start with the primitive armoured cars of WW1, manufactured by the likes of Austin, Lanchester and Rolls-Royce, before moving on to the high points of WW2 which include the Daimler Dingo; the Daimler, Humber and AEC armoured cars; and the Coventry which, sadly, came too late for production. Low points embrace the woeful Beaverette. Looking at the post-war years, we cover the hugely-successful Daimler Ferret and the somewhat less than successful Humber Pig, whilst also describing the Royal Ordnance Factory's Fox, and the six-wheeled Alvis Saracen and Saladin. And, finally, the story is brought right up-to-date with armoured vehicles produced by GKN, Force Protection, Navistar and Supacat... not forgetting the Land Rover Snatch patrol vehicle.
