Humber Pig History

[Martin French]

Hello all,

I am the current custodian of Humber Pig Mk1 28BK08 which is very much alive and breathing. Currently undergoing light restoration, any history or knowledge of the vehicles past would be very much appreciated, will post pictures when i work out how to do so.

I used to own it. It had some interesting and very rare features. The broken off stud welds around the front sides were where FVRDE experimented with removable mesh and angle iron shields to prevent things being rolled under the vehicle I have never seen this on any other Pig. The rear door tops were once hinged down, there is only one other Pig that has this feature was also at FVRDE. Yours did have a barricade ram, it had it when I bought it from the Tank Museum as they thought it was a Mk2, which it ain't. Other features are the external stretcher mounts and the remnants of RSJ for rearward facing seats. I can't get access to my archives at moment and internet very slow but might be better in a week or so.
