That's the one, was supposed to be a stopgap until the availability of the Saracen.

Got it now.......... It was the SAXON!

No it was the Humber Pig, the Saxon came after the Saracen I think ?

The Humber "Pig" has a nose like a truck, but the Saxon has a snub nose with the engine on the side. I saw Saxons in Bosnia and asked about the right-hand drive on those miserable narrow roads. The Staff Sgt (or whoever) shrugged and said, they couldn't go everywhere the Land Rovers went, but for the most part they were adequate.

Your remarks about the refit conditions are most welcome. My rebuilder friend sends his appreciations.

. Saracens were 6 wheel drive, and replaced the old US half-track troop carriers of the 40's into the 50's. Same chassis/running gear as the Saladin The Humber pigs were 4 wheel drive small versions of the Saracens and the much later Saxons were a troop carrier replacement for both.
