Hello,

I am most interested in the British "invasion scare" period of 1940-41.

Although I have done my best to read around the subject for myself, I could do with some more sources on the vehicles developed during this period. For example, Bison and Armadillo (for which I have a little information) the Cockatrice flame thrower (a product of the Petroleum Warfare Department), Scorpion (a plastic armoured vehicle for the admiralty) and the anti-tank lorry (abour which I have no information at all).

Of course, there may be more that I have never heard of!

If anybody can help me, that would be great!

Welcome to the forum. Is it only the vehicles you are intrested in? There was a recent excavation at Shooter's Hill in London of the central Stop Line carried out be a forum member.
