The British produced another command vehicle, the Guy Lizard in the early years of World War II. Only 21 were built and there are very few photos as it was on a security list that prevented their photos from being taken.

Britain's Guy Armored Cars updated

The Guy Armored Car was built in limited numbers and only a few were used in France in 1940. It however has the distinction of being the first 4 x 4 armored car produced for the British Army.
Unfortunately no pictures.

I've now made some updates for Germany's 15cm sIG 33 auf PzKpfw 38(t) Grille series.

Britain's Dorchester Command Vehicle added

The British used Dorchester Command Vehicles as their command vehicles. A couple were even captured and used by Rommel in North Africa (known as Mammutes).
I've added a new page but don't have any photos. Feel free to send me some if you have them.

Britain's Daimler 'Dingo' Scout Car updated

The Daimler Dingo Scout Car was used throughout World War II. Early models were hard to steer with its 4 wheel drive, but later models were 2 wheel drive and easier for the inexperience driver.

Britain's Bishop Self Propelled Gun Mk I updated

The Bishop resulted from the British seeing the German Army using self propelled guns with success in North Africa. However, the Bishop was very tall which left it at a disadvantage in the dessert.
I've now updated the historical information for the Bishop.

Britain's Bison Concrete Armored Vehicle added

Another type of vehicle that was developed and assembled during the time when at any moment the Germans might invade Britain was the Bison Concrete Armored Vehicles. These were basically truck chassis with a wooden frame built on them, then concrete poured over the top. This would provide some protection for the occupants from shells up to 37 mm.
Again, unfortunately, no pictures. If anyone has any feel free to send them my way.

Britain's Bedford Cockatrice added

To defend their airfields the British cam up with some interesting designs. One of these was basically an armored truck with a flame thrower in a small turret, the Bedford Cockatrice. It was used to guard Royal Navy airfields.
To me it just seems excessive to use a flame thrower as it's main armament, but I can only imagine they used the weapons that were available to them at the time. Unfortunately I have no photos.

Britain's Beaverette Light Reconnaissance Car added

After the British withdrew from France in 1940 there was a rush to build vehicles. The Beaverette was ordered by Lord Beaverbrook, the Minister of Aircraft Production, to provide security for the airfields in Britain in the event of a German invasion or sabotage.
I've now added a page and photos.

The most produced Italian armored car of World War II was the Autoblinda series.
I've added some new specification information.

Britain's Archer Self Propelled 17 pdr updated

Britain's Archer self propelled gun was of a unorthodox design, but was well liked by its crews by it's low silhouette and ability to quickly move out of position as the gun faced towards the rear.
I've added some additional information for it.

I've now made updates to the PzKpfw IV. Specifically the PzKpfw IV Ausf F1, PzKpfw IV Ausf F2, and PzKpfw IV production.
