Dave C Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Nice Demo film of 3 types of Humber's off road driving. http://www.britishpathe.com/video/humber-film/query/tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Quite amusing hearing the narrator talking about the driver of the armoured car using his judgement on cross country driving. The Drivers hatch is closed with him looking through the vision block, so no way can he see the ground directly in front of him, he would be luck to actually see anything closer than 10 yards in front of the vehicle.

Runflat Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 It's surprisingly difficult to find Humber FWDs on archive film. I don't know of any other footage of an FWD PU 8cwt. These are the only, somewhat brief, clips of a FWD heavy utility that I've found: @ 4:37 http://www.britishpathe.com/video/stills/victory-in-tunisia @ 5:05 (just!) http://www.britishpathe.com/video/stills/invasion-scenes-europe-british-troops-7 @ 0:31 (again, just!) http://www.britishpathe.com/video/stills/stores-depot But slightly easier to find footage of the FWD ambulance: @ 2:27 http://www.britishpathe.com/video/stills/battle-of-caen-1 @ 1:46 http://www.britishpathe.com/video/stills/invasion-scenes-11 @ 1:03 http://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675050516_British-trucks_World-War-II_British-Eighth-Army_Red-Cross-truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Another Humber ambulance @ about 10 seconds in here: http://www.itnsource.com/en/shotlist//RTV/1942/11/16/BGX408280124/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
