Ryan, you have been casting your net widely.
Did see this, but am assuming that Tim will have more copies available when I finally get a Humber.

This is on ebay.co.uk right now - Item number: 350043964384 -

Seems to be some kind of press release or brief news article on the prototype Humber truck for the USA, dated April 1951 - also includes a photo of what looks to be an FV1604 radio truck with the body chopped, sitting in a scrapyard in the 1960s or 1970s. The item is in USA but they will ship anywhere -
The picture below has most of the info anyway, but I would love to know where the photo was taken and when.
I was tempted, but I reckon I might be able to buy a missing piece for my old truck for the same price...

In the picture just posted, reading the caption it mentions secondary suspension, wonder what is secondary suspensions?

Could it be springs in the seat cushions or something more exotic?

[Richard Coutts-Smith]

This pic has been kicking around Epay for a while, as for the secondary suspension, perhaps the resiliantly mounted diff assemblies? Or perhaps the air in the tyres, so that would add up to quadruple suspension? (Certainly more more than a CMP, last time I checked mine did'nt have any at all)
