The Ruston-Bucyrus Infantry Support Charanbanc. Yeah - it's a thing*
« on: June 07, 2021, 02:27:01 PM »
This day in BS history - it's 1931 and we find the British Ministry of Supply and Pointy Things sending out the new Ruston-Bucyrus Infantry Support Charabanc to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds for its acceptance trials.




* If it wasn't a thing before it is now.

Interesting modification and it does look like the original vehicle was almost made for this feature.

That is awesome! Love the idea of an armoured char-à-bancs  :smiley:

And, of course, the Ruston-Bucyrus ISC would also be a grandsire of the 1939 'Nellie' trench-digger  ;)

This has to go into the 1920s/1930s GB or Between the Wars GB inspiration thread!
