In the photo gallery are several images of the Humber LRC submitted by another member. My Dad drove one of these as he was in the same Squadron as those posted. Apart from the RAF Museum at Hendon I have never seen another of these cars in the flesh, so to speak and certainly not one driving, and the one there is in desert colours, not North European colour scheme. Does anyone know if one of these is held in private ownership and shown at public Military Vehicle events as i would like to see and hear one moving? It is not really a "sexy" vehicle and model kits are rare, apart from "War Game" small scale versions. I have only seen it made by a Hong Kong company (IMA) in 1/35th scale. Does anyone know if there is a British stockist of this brand? Many thanks
I felt sure I'd seen one at Beltring... and here it is, though it seems it's a copy built on an FWD chassis: Historic Military Vehicles Forum On the 3rd page of that thread 'car_commander' posts a picture of what looks like a beautifully restored and running one. Seems to be based in somerset: Historic Military Vehicles Forum Pops up here too: Track-Link - Forums There are apparently others, one in Kent by the looks of it, I've found an owners name, but not much more than it was rallying last year. Cheers, Adam.
Just had a thought. The theme for this years Tankfest at Bovington is 'The British are Coming', might be worth calling them to see what's due to turn up. http://www.tankmuseum.co.uk/news/pr_tankfest_08_150108.htm
A friend of mine, Paul Hannon, is involved in a Recce Corps military vehicle group and I am sure they have got one of these? I am also sure I have seen one in the Military Museum in Brussells.
Would that be '43rd Recce' Paul? If it is, they were featured in CMV magazine last month and the LRC chap (one of those above) seems not to be a member anymore.
The Morris LRC they mention has been acquired fairly recently, looking forward to seeing that one trundling about at Beltring one year, perhaps not the most effective military vehicle but definitely a British 'classic'. Sounds like it'll take a fair while though.
