'Carrier, 2Pdr, Anti-Tank'

Oh here's a good idea chaps, a good ol' carrier with our fabby gun on top, that'll scare them off what!

Quite so, my late relative had the priviledge of firing Stuart 2pdrs against Erwin's Panzer 4s, the squadron commander had the crews on a fizzer for waste of ammo if observed to shoot at more than 400yds he told me.

Accurate maybe, but the rounds flying off at a tangent to Krupp Stahl looked quite pretty he said.

Of course those Canadians came up with the marriage of the stunningly potent 3.7 on a Ram chassis which the War Dept took one look at and could see no possible earthly use for it since no one would make a tank thicker or bigger than we had, would they? Just not cricket; blinkers on, think small, rose-tinted specs at the ready.
