If you insist Dave, although if you had kept quiet about it no one would have ever known!
(there is only one pedantic bugger who would ever point it out to you....) Dave has the modified original steel air intake by turning it upside down and fitting an adaptor for the flex. Back in the day this was obviously considered too cheap an option for the FVRDE, so an aluminium casting (part No. FV228852) was supplied with the snorkel kit. Comparison of pics will show it was money well spent... (Dave, if you have not seen it, a pic of one of the test Humbers on trial before Aust. Army delivery with kit fitted: http://anzacsteel.hobbyvista.com/oth...rtruckph_1.htm ) Of course younger more virile Humbers had much longer snorkels for showing off in the Chertsey wading pool.

Identification required.
Last weekend we had the Humber at the Broadford Classic Truck Display and whilst chatting a fellow asked about the strange lugs on the roof. After i explained what they are for he said that his father sometime between 1959 and 1961 bought two stands home from Puckapunyal and the family has used them on the farm in the workshop as stands and he thought they may fit the Humber.
Now i am sure that they are not Humber (wish they had been) although i have only seen one picture of the gun mount on a vehicle in the UK. He thinks that they came from a Bren carrier????. Can anyone out there in MLU land identify them and their use? Cheers, Dave.

Hi Dave.
Interesting pics, but I don't think its from a bren carrier. Im guessing that they are a mounting frame for a radial engine in an aircraft of some description.

A transit frame for a radial tank engine. I am certain I saw two of these in use last week with M3 Stuart engines mounted on them.
