Rover8FFR Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) My Humber Pig is believed to be ex 4th Guards ('All seeing Eye') and I wonder if any pics of this APC are available of them in use in Germany where mine was believed to have been posted. TBC! Apart from the odd picture here and there the majority of in service pics are in all in Northern Ireland. If anyone has any it would be great to view / share them just from a different perspective of military use. Ideally when in use through the 60's as mine was struck off in 1967 Date in service 4/12/53 Delivered to 31st ‘B’ Vehicle Depot Church Broughton Receipt Voucher No. CBR/R/4454 Converted to FV1611(A) 1959-60 Struck off 9/8/67 OSDD Ruddington Sale No. 93 Lot No. 718 Cheers Edited July 22, 2011 by Rover8FFR added info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dan Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I also uncovered the all seeing eye pretty much as per yours under many, many layers of paint on my Pig. I have unearthed no details so will be intrigued to see what you find out. Thanks, Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Insidethearmour Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Tankograd, publishers of the Militar Fahrzeuge series, do a book on BAOR in Germany 1945 to 1979 that covers the Pig in Germany (amongst almost every other armoured thing sent out for BAOR mind you). These are photobooks so are heavy n good pictures and light on text Might be worth looking up a copy? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
