Pictures
of the famous world war II military vehicles taken at events around
the UK.
Well, not all world war 2 - Visitors with national service may recognise
a couple of the Brit exhibits. Sit in an Austin, Morris, Bedford
or Humber and we could be in Aden on the murder mile, piling into
Crater with Mad Mitch, keeping cool in Hongers or Singers, trying
to keep warm in Sennelager.
We
could be drinking Tennents at Christmas Island, Tiger on Gan or
VB at Maralinga or Woomera. We could be anywhere in BFPO getting
some service in, getting our knees brown and listening to Muriel
on the world service.
The
sheer volume of American military vehicles produced can skew the
picture at shows but the Brits turned out some pretty good motors
both during and after the war. Maybe they lacked the glamour of
their counterparts from over the pond but they did the job and they
had the steering on the right side!
Imagine
'Ice
Cold in Alex' without the Austin K2 Ambulance - That truck had
a character all of its own! |
