M-9 repair vehicle & Daimler Mk 1 armored car

Recommended Posts

The M-9 field repair vehicle was a British conversion based on the American M-5 halftrack & in use for about 25 years.

Were these 2 vehicles in use in the British army during the same time period ? I have finished 1/48th scale Bandai models of both & would like build a small diorama including them together. My H/T model has a fully equipped workshop area on the back, plus the boom rig. on the front bumper. The Daimler is fully detailed including the motor. Thanks for any help I can get. Carl T

According to the REME Museum website the half tracks were replaced by the FV 434 in the early 1970s. I seem to remember being told about the Sherwood Rangers LAD using them in the 60s. The Daimler was used until the early 60s according to Wikipedia, but I don't know whether they were Mark I or Mk II. This would seem to give a broad range of opportunities for them to be used together.

Regards

Phil
