Type 2 Bison

Type 2 Bison

Here we see a Type 2 Bison concrete armoured lorry, built around a Thornycroft Tartar 3-ton truck, using original wartime parts. The Bison was built as an emergency anti-invasion measure in Britain in 1940-41 for use as mobile pillboxes.

Picture from the author's collection. The tank is in the collection of the very impressive Bovington Tank Museum
