The irony of all these trucks going into a breakdown recovery role is that the FV1606 was intended as a breakdown truck but never saw the light of day.
I have all the FVRDE Design Specs for the Humbers & these were Ministry of Supply documents. The FV1606 never got that far, what I have is a War Office Specification dated 1950. The intended role was to recover broken down Humbers, but of course they never break down, so it got no further in development!
