ONE MYSTERY SOLVED – ANOTHER APPEARS

This is not quite the same version, it seems to have a different style of turret, but at least it gives some idea of the size, which seems to have fooled most people, including our historian, into assuming it was some sort of light tank.
Of course, when you come to think about it, an amphibian would be the ideal machine to work in those conditions and in any case there is a certain poetic justice in this since it was from Florida that Donald Roebling began the research from which the LVT evolved in the first place.

Meanwhile what do you make of this?

Beyond guessing that this is a four wheel drive vehicle, being tested before health and safety was an ‘issue’ we really have no idea what it is. It came in a collection of photographs of CVR(W) Fox but there was no caption on the back, no date, no location, nothing.

The screen seems to be a temporary arrangement and we cannot figure what purpose the tripod at the front serves. The chap standing at the front (bow) seems to have the letters SAR on his like jacket and we wondered if this might be SARO, or Saunders-Roe.
We worked out that the photograph was taken looking north and you can just make out a church tower, on the horizon directly above the nearest cow.

We are worn out with guessing so

No prizes, as usual.
