Humber MkIV armoured car (British)

Description

During the Second World War, British forces used the Humber MkIV as one of their main armoured cars. This vehicle had a wide production and distribution across different theatres of war.
Developed from the previous Humber models, it offered better protection and firepower.

It differed from the previous models by replacing the 15 mm Besa heavy machine gun with a US-made M5 or M6 37 mm gun. The Humber MkIV also had a three-man turret, which allowed for a wireless operator to assist the commander and the gunner.

The Humber MkIV was used for reconnaissance, support and protection missions by various British and Commonwealth units in Europe, Africa and Asia. It fulfilled many roles including HQ vehicle, reconnaissance and light fire support. It had a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) and a range of 200 mi (320 km). Armour protection was light, with a maximum of 15mm of sloped armour. However, it was still proof against shrapnel and small arms fire. Generally, crews liked this reliable and versatile vehicle.
