Humber1-Ton.

 

There have been several NOS ones surface in the last couple years with one dealer at GDSF. The first year he didn't know what they were for, then last year they were labelled "Armoured Pig" (whatever that is) but they fit the entire FV1600 range.

These were all based on the 1-Ton payload standardised (ie properly designed MVs rather than adaptation of commercial vehicles like other 1-Ton Trucks of the time K9 & MRA1) CT (Combat Type later GS) Trucks based on the FV1601 GS Truck, FV1602 FFW & FV1604 Wireless Light of the early 1950s.

 

FV1609 Pig based on FV1602

FV1611 Pig APC/load carrier based on FV1601

FV1612 Pig FFW some later converted to FFR based on FV1602

FV1613 Pig Ambulance converted from FV1611

FV1620 Malkara Missile Launcher converted from FV1601 (NOT from a Pig)

FV1621 Missile Supply Truck conversion from FV1601

FV1622 Missile Test Truck conversion from FV1601

FV1623 Malkara Missile Repair Truck conversion from FV1601

FV1624 Malkara System Repair Truck conversion from FV1601

 

This is a simplification FV1601-FV1613 would be designated A - without winch, B - with winch although certain variants were never B.

 

There were up-armoured versions of FV1611/12/13 with many variants especially of FV1611
