Daimler armoured fighting vehicles

An interesting post from the NMBVA forum:

Use of Daimler armoured fighting vehicles by the forces in Malaya.

Dear Sirs

I am in the fortunate position of being the owner of a 1944 Daimler Dingo Scout car and also a 1942 Daimler Armoured car. Both vehicles have been restored to road worthy condition and are now used for military re-inacting and charity collecting through out the south east of England.

In September 09 they will be driven to Arnhem in commemoration of the 65th anniversary of Operation Market garden and have been appropriately marked with the insignia of the Household Cavalry and Guards Armoured Corps

The private owners of these rare vehicle have clubbed together and I am responsible for the research into the vehicle historic use.

I would be very great full therefore if any of your ex servicemen would like to share any stories or experiences of interest regarding these vehicles.

In addition we would especially be interested in seeing any photos’ of the cars in service. Photos can be used to check that we have accurately kitted out the cars as they would have been in the past. And also to sometimes to obtain a picture of surviving cars with there service unit.
Sadly the WD records were mostly destroyed when the cars left service

Thanks for you valuable assistance

Regards
