    The thing on the flatbed looks like a tent! :eek:

    Was it a hasty lash-up designed to fight off Seelowe?
    The Armoured (insert lorry name here) Mk. 1
    Or more likely, a mobile pillbox!

    This was a prototype machine developed it Britain. The idea was for use in the desert where drive wheels could easily bog down. This machine in theory would blow itself across the dunes.

    For some strange reason the concept never got beyond this single machine.

    I reckon it'd create dust storms beyond control. Imagine the wear on the engine and troops involved.
