Does anyone have any reference material relating to the universal carriers used by Carrier platoon, Yeomanry Armoured Detachment in 1940?

They were fitted with armoured roofs whilst serving in Britain on anti-invasion operations.

The osprey book has a clour plate of one of them, but as i intend to scratchbuild the roof i need more pictures or plans.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Joe

Sorry about the poor quality.. it waspretty late in the afternoon
when I took these...

Dave,

Thanks for the reply. The photos in your gallery are great, but unfortunately not what im looking for.

The vehicles im refering to had a large metal roof, supported by struts welded to the sides of the hull. I believe they were designed to provide the crew with protection against air attack.

regards

Joe

Not a problem Joe, sorry I couldnt help you out

Dave

Why not try contacting the Tank Museum directly and see if they can help you. Of course there may be only one picture in captivity......

Hi Joe,
David Fletchers book, 'The Great Tank Scandal' has a picture taken from the rear of a Yeomanay Armouredetacement on patrol. Itson page 38. Hope that helps.

Joe the Imperial War Museum photo base has some photos of these in it. If you cannot find them PM me as I may have the photos on file here somewhere.

Cheers
Cliff
