1925 Crossley Indian Pattern Armoured Car
« on: November 16, 2007, 10:00:21 AM »
Just to let you chaps know that there is a corking article in the December edition of "Military Machines International" on the Crossley in India.  Packed with photos and unit details etc.
They were all drawn to the Keep; the soldiers who brought death; the father and daughter fighting for life; the people who have always feared it; and the one man who knows its secret....

Sadly no, but lots of detailed shots including ones of "Assaye" which was a Wireless Car and of the underside of a car following a prang.

Have a look at this photo album from the NWF in the 1930's:

Do you think a figure range to support these would be a good idea?

I've got the new foundry book, and there are some cracking good things in there. I like the idea of Brits in Iraq in the 1920/30s, and the Italians against Haile Sellasi.
