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 ![]() Paul Last edited by dcrfan; 28-08-22 at 04:32. |
