I need help. I have been Googling Malayan Emergency armoured vehicles and located this site
https://www.legendsofthedragonfly.co...LADgIXY8JHiAC4
While the article describes a Daimler armoured car the two photos clearly show a vehicle much larger with a substantial turret. After examining the photos I 'think' they show a GM Fox as we know that type was used in Malaya post WW2 but I'm not certain.
I think it is because:
- size and body shape
- mudguard shape
- small port/hatch on the turret side
- the raised engineering deck
However I'm not so sure because:
- the spare wheel stowed on the side is not standard Fox stowage
- the zig-zag top of the hull side armour in the second photo
- the front of the turret in photo one appears to be missing any weapon mantlet rather has an opening hatch. Perhaps it has been modified from and armoured car to a scout car which is more in keeping with its Police role
My first two doubts do however match a Humber Armoured Car. What do you think?
Have I just identified yet another type of armoured vehicle that was used in the Emergency
