Does anyone know the registration number of the Staghound armored car in the 2nd Household cavalry that was named Red Knight? Thanks

 

Rod,

[Edit] Initial response amended, replaced by response on your other thread:
WW2 2nd household cavalry insignia

In short, RED KNIGHT is not from 2 Household Cavalry.

I would suggest that it is better to keep all your questions on this subject in the same (other) thread, otherwise members risk wasting their time looking for responses which have already been provided by other members on that other thread. Or at least, include a link to inform of the existence of the other thread.

Kevin - very interesting piece of work. Well Done.

I'm trying to work out what the data in the Spreadsheet columns represents, particularly B. H I'm assuming contract numbers. Sorry all a bit new to this!!

Hi P,

Column B - F prefix used for Armoured and Scout cars
Column H - Known contract numbers

Cheers

Thanks Kevin,

All is now clear!!

Hello Kevin,
please excuse me for bringing this thread up again.
I normally research early German tanks and don't spend much time on British vehicles. For some reason, however, I've been fascinated by the Daimler Armoured Car for some time and have been trying to collect the available photos and WD numbers etc. since then.
Two of the number blocks that you assign to the Daimler Dingos (Scout Cars) in your list were actually built as Daimler Armoured Cars. The series F207288 to F208187 as Mk.I and the series F208190 to F208688 as Mk.2. This is pretty well documented by photos. The last series of Mk.2 produced was stopped after 294 units. So only the numbers F339201 to F329495 were produced.
Best regards,
Andreas

 

Hi Andreas,

I think that this must have been a case of not checking properly on my part and I must have just copied down the Daimler Dingo part and not amended it accordingly as Armoured Car. On the "Chilwell" list that I have has the contract number and original quantity, F207288 - F208688 TM12512 1401 vehicles and F339201 - F339800 M14752 600 vehicles. I have amended the list accordingly as per your numbers and will post a corrected list at a later date. Apologies for my original error.

Cheers

Kevin
