At least five new style WMIK Land Rovers (partially armoured) heading south on the M11 just before the junction with the M25 - the drivers wearing a mixture of Army Combat Helmets and civvie motorcycle helmets. I wonder where they were going? They looked really nice!!

On the move from Duxford to Coventry Transport Museum are a Saracen and a Humber Pig.

 

Also on their way to a new home at a air museum in Norfolk are a Austin Champ and a Morris armoured car.

It's a real shame to see the Morris go. I wonder what we'll get in to replace it.

 

It certainly is. They were used as airfield defence for USAAF airfields, so quite an appropriate exhibit I'd have thought. Of course I have no doubt the decision maker was aware of this... :whistle:
