Well Rick,
its either Wally's or Russell's, or Wally's and Russells. Can't keep track.

That's super Richard thank you for posting that, looks great fun. Makes one proud to own a Humber. I had already found the shorter 'puddle' clip a few days ago.

I have a little clip I must post up I took a few days. It it was the FV1622 Missile Test Truck being fired up after 10+ years lying idol. I only drove it a few feet, but none the less it was exciting just to hear it breathing again.

I meant to say thank you for posting the trials report article. That was very useful from Paul Handel who had researched it well. I have a few photos of the trials I must post up to go with it.

I wonder if any of our Canadian friends have any info on the cold weather Humber trials conducted over there?

Thanks Clive,
Please post what you have, YouTube is definatley in need of Humber movies!
Love to see the photos of the trials, Paul did have some which were in the original article, one showing a snorkel fitted, another showing the railway gauge to see how big the vehicle was.

Found the link to the newsletter with the photos

Something to be going on with.

Might not seem very dramatic, but after being idle for well over 10 years it was nice to hear the B60 come to life. But this I believe is the only surviving FV1622 of 8 produced. I know the Test Troop Sgt who used this very vehicle 18 BK 91 in Cylcops Sqn 2 RTR

There are few other Humber clips of mine there.

Thanks Clive.
Surprising how much better the B60 sounds than the B40, gets a real note to it.
Must be terrific to have that historical contact.
Rich.
