A WW2 Ferret Armoured car going through it's paces

Hmm...what is that Ferret's purpose? Recon?

Very fast Resonances vehicle with a medium machine gun to help get it out of trouble. It was introduced in WW2 and served with many armies for about 30 years

it really does look quick and swift. Very suitable for its job

I dont think it was a WW2 vehicle as I understand it the "Ferret" didnt enter service until the early 1950s.

The WW2 vehicle was the Daimler Armored Car which entered service in 1941 and was replaced by the Daimler Ferret in the 50s, they look almost identical but are regarded as two seperate vehicles.

Another small tank



Now just a little bit of information about the above tank, this is a Matilda Mk1. It was like most British Tanks of their day, heavily armoured, and under gunned and very slow. In 1940 around Arras it launched a counter attack against the Germans and gave them a bit of a scare they found the only way they could stop it was to shoot of the tracks. The British with their pop gun could not stop the Germans, but the did kill the German Commanders No 2. The German Commander was Rommel and the chap leading the British counter attack , well that was Montgomery. The one thing that this attack did do was to make the Germans stop for a few days while they asses the situation which gave the British Army time to to slip out of Dunkirk.

The Comet Tank...This was a fairly well armoured and well gunned tank that should have been ready for D Day. I's introduction was put back due to all materials required for the Invasion of Europe, but it did see action in the later days of the war

It almost look like Tiger....the small tiger. heh.

slim turret though. heh

With its 77mm gun it could take out a Tiger I frontally at a 1,000 yards
