Has a curious picture of a vehicle identified as an Armadillo or an LMS Armadillo. It does resemble the Mk III Armadillo in some respects - e.g. what looks like a COW gun at the back. The war was still on at this point so published information might well be unreliable. Gaius Cornelius ( talk) 16:07, 1 October 2010 (UTC) reply
