"covers Snatches of British Private Collections" I wonder why someone stuck the nickname Snatch on that armoured Land Rover .... http://onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-definition-of/snatch

Hi Robin,

Yes if you look up the meaning it is clearly not the best name. The name came from it's use in Northern Ireland when it was used for Internal Security duties. It was never officially named 'Snatch' but it is known by this title from all in the UK Forces.

I hope this helps

Brian
