I think if I was driving I would take a break too.

I would not like to stand behind that when it went off - the mounting looks anything but safe.

Come now, that looks like the finest sheet metal you could buy for your portee...


I hope for the sake of that gunner that the gun doesn't have an automatic shell casing ejector...

I guess the sleigh was being refurbished.

That looks like it may be a M3 Stuart chassis?

I thought the same - I suspect its the M5 recce version with the turret removed. I think the tracks give it away.

Neat idea but looks a bit 'tippy' when fully deployed. Needs outriggers like a bucket-arm truck.

This is really neat.  Rather impractical, but fun.
Was this developed post Dunkerque?  The british considered a lot of wacky answers to the situation.

There was a display at the Imperial War Museum of the Bates Bottle Thrower.
It looked like a cannon, at first glance, but was a device that threw molotov cocktails out to about a hundred yards.  Worked like a slingshot with massive rubber bands to propel the coke bottles.
