As British Humbers go the last ones into service were mid 1955. The report refers to them as Humbers, but that may be a colloquialism for FV1601 as we know they were plated as Commers for you.

Might have a picture or two

Clive,

I think the Tropical Trials in Australia were done for the British Army as I have seen a report folder with photos, on the Leyland Martian done around the same time. When the Scorpion CVR(T) was on development they also took it to Queensland for the "hot" trials.
