Vehicle History

A prototype with 20mm Polsten Cannon as coaxial armament, this vehicle was sent to fight in Germany in June 1945, but the war in Europe ended before it saw action. During this period it was attached to the 22nd Armoured Brigade for troop trials, first with 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards and then 5 RTR.
