Beltring 2008

Hi Richard

Yes, I only managed to visit this part of the camp on Sunday, a few hours before I had to catch the plane back home. So I was in a little bit of rush. But I was luckily to see the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight with the Lancaster. Sadly, the Lancaster wasn't in Duxford the week before nor at Farnborough on Saturday (too strong winds).

Hmm, which odd pics do you mean? Keefy's Aussie DVD's? Or the Fox Armoured Car?

Greetings
Chris

Sorry to have missed you, Chris.

The "odd" photos, not CMP / Canadian, were the Dutch owned Humber MkIV armoured car...........the Fox is a copy of it.

regards, Richard

ooops, shame on me Thought that both would be Fox Armoured Cars. Where can you see the difference? So, i guess the one with the missing gun is the Fox (at least it was written on a badge).

No worries, I'm sure we'll met again next year

The machine on the left,with the FOX sign,skillfully placed to hide the front shock sticking up through the front fender is really a Humber..but not good enough...the top of the shock is seen sticking through the fender just above the sign...a poor camo job like that usually gets you killed..

Zero points on AFV recognition, Alex

The vehicle on left with sign saying "GM Fox"...........is in fact a Fox. The shocker on a Humber is much higher, look at the right hand pic, the petrol cans are in front of it.

Also note the front hubs on the Fox, definitely CMP based

Alex,

I knew there would have been a sound reason for the mistaken identity
