Humber armoured cars in service in Myanmar?

The figure quoted for many years by Janes Books was I believe 40. Quite if Janes are still listing them you would need to check in an up to date edition.

Burma were also listed at the same time as having Comet Tanks and Carriers. I have a copy of a demands request from their army dated during the 1980's listing Daimler Dingo spares they wanted to buy. This was addressed to the now defunct ECM Company of Poole England, who post war rebuilt many of the Army's Dingo's, and maintained large stocks of spares into the 1980's. All now gone.

More recently within the last fifteen years, I spoke to some one who had seen a warehouse full of carriers in Burma. Subsequently the rumour was that they had sold all the V8's and presumably scraped the rest.

Through contacts I have tried twice to contact their goverment, but without success.


I would personaly doubt if any vehicles are still in service due to the spares problem, but does any one have any more up to date information?
