Yes I do but since I made it clear which vehicle I was talking about at least once before this continued picking fault is rather pointless
Finally, we have confirmation that James K is not interested in any of the Carden Loyd inter-war vehicles - not the tankette, the tractor or even the carrier 2-man, 4-man, with or without MG. Stand down the Cardon Loyd information.
No, you made it most unclear. Post #1: Cardon Loyd Carrier. Post #6: Sorry, l mean the Loyd Carrier Post #11: lt's the Cardon Loyd Carrier not the Cardon Loyd Tankett (sic) Most confusing. But thanks very much for now clearing it all up. If the document l quoted is to be believed, 8 of the vehicles you are intetested in were left behind on the continent by the BEF.
Soooo...The answer to the originally intended question (applied therefore to the Loyd Carrier) is that the BEF certainly had access to a small number.. but that fundamentally they were too new to have been widely used and probably don't seem to have found a rôle beyond that of the Cavalry Carrier. Does James consider his question answered ?
When discussing the origins of the Loyd caeeier, no one seems to have pointed out that the Light Dragon, though having a similar supension to the Loyd, had its sprockets (i.e.driving wheels) at the rear, whereas the Loyd carrier had its sprockets at the front. The pic of the vehicle towing an 18/25 (or perhaps just18) pounder gun has beeen widely identified as a Light Dragon Mk III, and the one in a ditch looks like a Light Dragon Mk IIc. Chris
It’s an early Loyd carrier for sure, probably one of the first 200 produced in 1940. I would really like to nail down the location of the photo. That signal box sure looks unique, there must be a signal box boffin who would know at lest which country used that design!
