  • Hornet Fv1620

    Hornet Fv1620

    HORNET FV1620 Clive Elliott explains how the development of the Hornet missile launcher. The Hornet missile launcher was developed under the FVRDE design specification FV1620. Depending on the stage of development the vehicle was identified as: Truck, 1 Ton, Armoured Launcher, 4x4, Humber. Launcher, Guided Missile, Truck Mounted. Truck, 1 Ton, Airportable Launcher, 4x4. Launcher, Guided Missile, Truck Mounted (Malkara) Armoured, 1 Ton, 4x4, Humber Hornet. The Humber 1-Ton trucks were introduced in the early 1950s and were designated by the Fighting Vehicle Research & Development Establishment (FVRDE) as the FV1600 series. They demonstrate how a wide range of variants can be based on a cargo truck. Other 1-Ton trucks of the time, like the Austin K9 (FV16000 series) and Morris MRA/1 (FV16100 series) were based on a commercial chassis, but the Humber was developed exclusively for military use and was the only ‘standardised’ 1-Ton truck. Standardised, means that it has some components that are shared with other standardised vehicles such as Champ, Ferret, Saracen etc. Of all the Humber variants the armoured version known as the Pig saw the longest service and is the most widely known variant. But the most ingenious variant must be the Hornet (FV1620) which became the launch vehicle for the Malkara Anti-Tank Guided Weapon (ATGW). The adoption of Malkara by the British Army spawned a range of other Humber variants to supply, test and repair the Malkara system. It has been said that the Hornet was a rather improvised vehicle and that a better launch vehicle could have been designed.

    BAOR July 1989

    BAOR ORDER OF BATTLE JULY 1989 “But Pardon, and Gentles all, The flat unraised spirits that have dared On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth So great an object….” Chorus, Henry V Act 1, Prologue This document began over five years ago from my frustration in the lack of information (or just plain wrong information) regarding the British Army of The Rhine in general and the late Cold War in particular. The more I researched through books, correspondence, and through direct questions to several “Old & Bold” on Regimental Association Forums, the more I became determined to fill in this gap. The results are what you see in the following pages. Before I begin a list of acknowledgements let me recognize my two co-authors, for this is as much their work as well as mine. “PM” was instrumental in sharing his research on the support Corps, did countless hours of legwork, and never failed to dig up information on some of my arcane questions. “John” made me “THINK” British Army! He has been an inspiration; a large part of this work would have not been possible without him. He added the maps and the color formation signs, as well as reformatting the whole document. I can only humbly say that these two gentlemen deserve any and all accolades as a result of this document. Though we have put much work into this document it is far from finished. Anyone who would like to contribute information of their time in BAOR or sources please contact me at [email protected]. The document will be updated with new information periodically.

There has been a significant rise in the use of UGVs, artificial intelligence, virtual training and survivability equipment. Also, Active Protection Systems (APS) are being developed in lighter, cheaper and more accurate forms, supporting their case as a popular solution for the future battlespace. With all of the aforementioned in mind, the deployment of MBTs is still seen as a necessity by most in spite of climbing demand for light protected mobility. Ahead of International Armoured Vehicles 2019 conference, Defence IQ has compiled this market report to outline global key programmes and future requirements across all types of armoured vehicles.

The narrative is complicated by the fact that the definition of ‘riot-control vehicle’ can depend as much on context as on the nature of the vehicle itself. For example, during the explosive riots in the 1960s in the United States, National Guard M113 armoured personnel carriers (APCs) were deployed to patrol the streets, demolish barricades and provide some measure of crowd control. In these circumstances, the M113s were de facto RCVs, despite the fact that they were not designed for this specific purpose. Indeed, throughout the history of RCVs, we find that the lines between APC, armoured car, infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) and even main battle tank can blur with the category of RCV, depending on the purpose to which the vehicle is put. On this basis, almost every military vehicle can be classed as an RCV, if it is used specifically for crowd control.
  • Humber Pig: That's Not Right

    Humber Pig: That's Not Right

    THAT’S NOT RIGHT! Clive Elliott explains why his military vehicle is grey and how Humber trucks got armoured bodies. Having displayed a prototype Shorland armoured car that was painted grey, I was intrigued to find out if colour prejudice was still rife, I am afraid it is! I wasn’t sure whether the lack of interest and on some occasions hostility, was because it was based on a Land Rover. Now that I have a pig painted grey, I realise it is the colour that is the problem for many people attending shows where nearly everything else is painted green. I can understand this as we see many embellishments to vehicles that are clearly wrong that reflect some fantasy of the owner. I suppose I would be cautious about the historical accuracy of a grey pig if had seen my vehicle enter the showground for the first time. Some have suggested that the present colour scheme of Light Admiralty Grey is merely the undercoat for a more normal colour scheme that will be applied later. This is not the case as the correct undercoat for a vehicle of this era is Dark Admiralty Grey. A strange looking Humber Pig painted in Light Admiralty Grey. The explanation is that this Humber pig is being restored to the specifications of a vehicle that saw police service between 1958 and 1970. The purpose of the article is to describe how the first armoured Humbers evolved and how those in police service differed from those that were later made for the Army. The problem of restoring my pig has been that after it passed into army service for a second time most of its special features were removed when it was made into a Mk 2 pig.
