Very nice but technically speaking, they aren't Loyd carriers but Vickers Cardens.

Thanks Chaps !!!

Neither me or my miners dosen´t really know much about the model of their transport. As long as it will bring them safely in to battle with the Whites we are happy, the British salesmen, that convinced them that it was an exelent transport in a mine as well as in combat, from a company called Warlord stated that the vehicle was a "Carden Loyd Carrier". So I have to send my excuse to Sir Carden as I left he´s name out in my post, Sorry old chap!

It seems like the vehicle was developed and designed in the 1920´s by Sir John Carden and Vivian Loyd in their company Carden-Loyd Tractors Ltd

From 1930 Manufactured by Vickers-Armstrong as they bought the Carden-Loyd company....so I suppouse they technically speaking should be called Vickers-Armstrong Carden-Loyd carriers or simply Carden-Loyd tankette as they seems to be called most often, at least on the net, but what do I know as I´m not really in to vehicles as long as they do their job.

In the end the miners are just happy to have got them self a good ride to the battle. 

Sorry for my digression, couldn´t help my self.

Best regards Michael
