Postwar LRC use.
The only postwar British use of the Humber LRC that I'm aware of was in Palestine with the Military Police into the late forties. The RAF Regiment used the LRCs up until the 1960s in the Middle East. I am not aware of any ending up in the Far East although some must have made their way to India during the war. Humber LRCs were used in Germany certainly up until the disbandment of the Reconnaissance Corps. I do not know where the vehicles went when the regiments were broken up. Perhaps this is just an isolated vehicle favoured by a high-ranking officer?
I have attached a picture of Humber MkIII LRCs in use with the East Palestine Military Police Company in Haifa 1948.
