AEC Armoured Car Mark II


The AEC Armoured Car Mark II mounted a 6-pounder gun (57mm) and BESA 7.92mm machine gun housed in a 3-men turret, comparing well with contemporary tanks. 627 of all three types were built and these were used in North Africa, Tunisia, Italy and Northwest Europe.

Well, yes, I do. It just so happens that I have a lot of images of these. I took them when I was in the UK earlier this year.

There will lots more of aircraft, architecture and others later.

And drawings too. Books, music and more.

Well Sue Lin, there's little worth in terms of history in Singapore.

There's a new army museum going up here but who really cares. There's already an air force museum and more. They didn't think of preservation then and a lot of the earlier and more interesting artifacts were sold, scrapped or lost.

The ones that I visited were in Bovington, Duxford, and London.
