Thanks Don.

Great video montieth. Part II is interesting as well:

I’ll have to search through YouTube to look for other old ‘War Office’ approved films.

Thanks also for your comments about the smoke discharger. I’ve wondered how the 'smoke mortar' on Humber LRCs was used.

On the Humber the advantage is that you can load the single ballistite cartridge from inside. You have to load the action on the other vehicles from the outside. On the humber however, you STILL have to insert the 4" smoke bomb from the inside.
