We are getting a Humber Pig that was imported from the UK. It has an
additional layer of armor welded to the roof. It this an indication of the
"up armoring" for Northern Ireland service? It will be put into police
service under STRICT CONSTITUTIONAL GUIDELINES.

There is a yard in my area where some large "tanks" have been doing planter
duty for at least fifteen years. They said they would never sell them. I went
by today and most were gone. I asked the owner about them. They are M4A4
LVT's, modified with a hump in the front armor. They were bought by a British
collector. One went to a museum, one went to a private collector in the US.

I would be interested in a little background info on these from anyone who is
familiar with them.
