Runflat Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) That first picture is very interesting as it shows the Indian pattern armoured wheeled carrier. I belive it to be a Mk IV. There's some more on these vehicles here: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?16812 and here http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1868 Others include Humber scout car, Humber light reconnaissance cars, Morris 'quad' field artillery tractors, Ford Marmon Herrington armoured cars - so undoubtedly showing British or Commonwealth forces. Interesting to also see a White scout car with a spare wheel. Edited December 1, 2012 by Runflat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to also see a White scout car with a spare wheel. Those Humber Scout Cars are pretty cool. I only managed to identify some of the other types on the internet. For instance when i look on the net for ' Ford Marmon Herrington armoured cars ' i cannot see a vehicle that looks like one in the photo's. I will look again.

Richard Farrant Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) One photo shows two Humber MkIV Armoured Cars with a Humber Light Recce between them. Edited December 2, 2012 by Richard Farrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertBlooms88 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 One photo shows two Humber MkIV Armoured Cars with a Humber Light Recce between them. Thanks. I am trying to identify also the three vehicles very close to each other with guns on them and also the vehicle in front of the scout car with the motorcyle in between? Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The second picture shows the Marmon Herringtons (Ford is often dropped). See here, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmon-Herrington_Armoured_Car The last picture has a White Scout car at the front, the Humber scout car at the rear.
