    I have been trying to place that colour... It is Her Majesty the Queens very own Rolls Royce armoured car. On display at Bovington.

    Correct.
    Thought I'd make it easy for others to join in.

    It didn't work.
    Here is another detail shot..

    On the previous picture: It actually appears to be an M 46 not 26. Note the postwar uniforms of the crew and the addition of the sand shields over the tracks. The use of a large star on the front and promenent white stencilling are more common on post war vehicles too.
    Also, since the participation of the M 26 in Europe during the war was very limited and occured almost totally in the Winter of 44 - 45 and early spring of 45 the apparent weather conditions indicated by shirt sleeves and foilage would further support it being an M 46.

    The picture above is of a Dodge 3/4 ton truck or sometimes designated as a "weapons carrier" or "power wagon." The vehicle type is usually WC 34.

    Pre-production Tracked Truck, 1 ton GS.
    While looking around the web for further info I see the Royal Australian Armoured Corps Museum has really tarted it's website up. Great stuff and some very interesting vehicles.

    Owen's on the money, it's definitely a Staghound, which threw up another excellent new (?) website upon triple checking: The Staghound Register which gives some hope that Rex Cadman's beautifully restored T17 (presumably the one in Bod's Photo ;)) is to be joined by others over the years to come.

    Would that be Owen's go next then? Or anyone else who's got a good one.

    I'm now off to work. Gotta pay for me 'olidays somehow. ;)
    Next one is open to all.

    PS Good site on restoration of a Staghound here.

    AC4, I believe not technically a Sentinel as the name was only officially given to the AC1. Promising looking device.

    What's this?
