Back to WW2 ! For a Belgian client we restored this dustproof Solex ZNHPO carburettor. It's installed in a Daimler MK2 Dingo, a widely used British made scout-car. The float in this carburettor had starter to leak causing flooding of the engine. Fortunately we were still able to source a NOS correct float for this rare carburettor. The restoration was completed with a thorough ultrasound cleaning, media blasting, new spindle and a new gasket and membrane set. Ready for another couple of years ! What an extremely solid build carburettor.. Interesting fact is that in 1951 the Belgian company Societé Nouvelle Minerva received a request from the Belgian army to produce a Belgian copy of the Daimler Dingo. A tender for 320 of these scout cars was made public and Minerva applied with a design that included 2 separate 4-cylinder engines, a fully automatic gearbox and quasi 90% locally produced content. Unfortunately this order never materialised because the Army had a bigger need for smaller 4x4's. Subsequently Minerva build 9000 Minerva jeeps under license of Land Rover for the Belgian Army. . . #solexcarbs #daimlerdingo #daimlerdingoscoutcar #texmagna #smithsinstruments #jaegerinstruments #solexcarburettor #solexcarbs #lucasplc6 #lucascwx #burmandouglas #josephlucas #lucaskingoftheroad #sufuelpumps #lucaswipermotor #landroverrestoration #landroverrestoration #reborn #landroverlegends #seriesone #rebuild #series1 #oldlandrovers #landroverreborn #landroverrestoration #landroverpreservation #1948landrover #1948series1landrover

An Armoured Car Commander of the Inns Of Court Regiment offers his driver a cigarette during a brief moment of respite during the advance across Holland to Arnhem, September 1944. ————————————————————— The chance to do something a little different last year really opened my eyes to the life of mechanised troops during the war. Not only were we displaying to the public, but we were maintaining the vehicles as they would have been, crewing them as they would have been, and driving in convoys through areas of Southern England. A real chance to enjoy something a little different and an experience that was very thought provoking. #innsofcourt #yeomanry #holland #XXXcorps #armoured #armouredreconnaissance #recce #armouredrecce #dingo #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #ragingbulls #bashonrecce #ww2 #ww2britisharmy #penetratedeeperforlonger #picoftheday #photography #livinghistory #ww2history #ww2reenactment #secondworldwar #alliedforces #findthem #liveoffyourvehicle #RAC #royalarmouredcorps #smoke #trf

November 30th 1944, The Regiments continued slog holding large areas of the Maas River with Observation Posts, fighting patrols and reconnaissance in force was becoming very tedious. Although in the bigger picture this had now freed up many infantry units that would have been otherwise used to dig in along the river areas the regiment had been allocated to hold, these units could now be used to clear German forces from stubborn enemy Bridgeheads and expand the British frontline to the entirety of the Maas. ————————————————————————————————A Car commander from A squadron sends a observation post report to the Squadron HQ while set in location on the outskirts of Boxmeer. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #ww2history #ww2british #ww2britisharmy #ww2armor #daimler #daimlerlightscoutcar #daimlerdingo #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #ww2holland #holland #1944 #november1944 #vintage #vintagestyle #1940sfashion #1940suniform #1940s #secondworldwar

November 1944, For the first half of November the regiment was holding the line on two separate fronts. B and C Squadrons held the West Bank of the Maas in the Boxmeer-Vortum area while A and D Squadrons took turns on the Deurne front. Apart from sporadic shelling, sniping and small skirmishes with enemy patrols it was relatively quite. One of the main events for the Regiment at the start of November was the overall command change from 1 Corps to direct command of the 11th Armoured Division. The Regiment had worked on and off with the 11th Armoured Division from the moment it landed in Normandy, now it was the Divisions scout car regiment. Although now under the 11th Armoured’s command this was not the end of the Regiment’s attachment to other divisions, as it would still be in great demand to support Divisions such as the 3rd Infantry, 6th Airborne, 7th Armoured, 51st Highland and many more over the coming months. ——————————————————————————————— Above, 4 Troop Commander from A Squadron, wearing his Cold weather Tank suit (Pixie) Stands with his Daimler light scout car that has now been rebadged to 11th Armoured Division, Amerika, Holland, November 1944. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #ww2history #ww2british #ww2britisharmy #ww2armor #daimler #daimlerlightscoutcar #daimlerdingo #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #ww2holland #holland #1944 #november1944 #vintage #vintagestyle #1940sfashion #1940suniform #1940s #secondworldwar

A Squadron Sargent major catches up with members of the Squadrons Blitz Troop machine Gun Team. The SSM had many rolls to to play within the Squadron but a key one was keeping an eye on the Troops moral, making sure the squadron was getting what it needed, in rations, mail and rest. This would become all the more important now the winter weather was fast approaching.

A Signaller from the A Squadron HQ Troop, man’s the Blitz troop net on a Wireless Set No. 18 from a ground station in the Squadron harbour, as the Blitz troop was a mechanised infantry platoon their communications base was infantry level communication equipment such as the Wireless Set No. 18 and wireless Set No. 38. As most of the communications within the Squadrons was done though the the Wireless Set No. 19, the squadron HQ needed the communication link with the Frequency’s used by that of the Blitz troops infantry patrol radios, communication could also be established by normal vehicle communications with the Blitz Troop commanders white scout car that was fitted with a No 19 set for mounted operations. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #communication #wirelessset #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #history #historical #ww2history #wehaveways

Once the Mass River had been reached on September 26 it could not be said that there was nothing further to worry the Regiment, that all they need do was to sit on the banks of the Maas and watch the enemy on the other side. This was far from the reality of the situation. Not only did the Germans maintain a strong bridgehead on the west side of the river based on Venlo with a front of forty miles but they were very active with patrols which crossed the river north of their own salient. With Market Garden over and the main effort switched from advancing to Arnhem to consolidation of gains, the British 2nd Army now had to install stable front lines and relocate forces. The IOC once again became a regiment of “jack of all trades” Scout car operators, Infantry, and route markers. They now had the task of watching the Mass, with winter approaching this would not be an easy task. ———————————————————————————————— A Bren Gunner from A Squadron Blitz’s Troop watches over a German minefield that is being marked by Divisional engineers, Mass River, September 27th 1944 #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #marketgarden #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #September1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #history #historical #ww2history
On September 26th, The lead was taken over by B Squadron who were to recce the area from Cuijk to Overloon with particular reference to the bridges over the Maas at Gennep. Patrols were sent to Uden and Mill where contact was made with flanking troops. A patrol was also sent through Rijkevoort and Beugen to look at the Gennep bridges but the leading car was hit by a panzer Faust while going through Beugen and Lt. Briggs and his driver both wounded were taken prisoner. Typhoons were called in to deal with enemy transports and half-tracks moving south to Boxmeer and Vortum and a number were destroyed. The patrol towards Gennep was taken over by Lt. Thomas whose troop made its way through Mill and Haps to a point where it was able to see and report that the bridge was actually blown. Lt. Thomas then carried out a detailed recce of the bridge and reported on its condition. For the good work executed on this patrol he was later awarded the MC. Beugen was entered later in the day and found to be quite clear, subsequently confirmed with Lt. Briggs whose captors evacuated their position as soon as he had been taken and withdrew across the Maas. At the end of the day the river had been reconnoitred from St. Agatha to Sambeek and all crossings were known to have been destroyed. Patrols also made their way with tanks to Overloon which was strongly held by enemy tanks and infantry. During the day the Guards centre line was again cleared and traffic was once more able to make its way to the troops in the Nijmegen Bridgehead. Arnhem had been evacuated after a long and valiant battle against overwhelming odds and the great advance on which so much had been staked was now halted and the Second Army was committed to consolidating the 60 mile bulge it had put in the enemy front line. ————————————————————— A trooper sleeps in his slit trench on a somber evening of the 26th as news passes through every unit that a crossing of the Rhine was not achieved. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #marketgarden #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #September1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #history #historical #ww2history
The model pit. Due to the horrific lessons learned in the Great War that saw reliance upon the officer tier to achieve the mission and objectives, with the ranks having limited knowledge of what their role was in the bigger picture, the structure of how Orders were presented was changed. Focus was now driven towards the mission being filtered down to every man in the unit, that their understanding of the mission, ground, enemy and friendly forces positions, would allow all ranks to be able to continue the task and step up if the one up was killed or wounded. To aid such information being presented at all unit levels, commanders would carry out Orders Groups from division level to section level. A model pit was a tool that could be used to allow full battle space knowledge to be shown and understood even at the lowest level. It would be constructed in the centre of a command area or harbour location and would be a sand table showing the current area of operations or likely objectives. This troop model pit is constructed from items that would be on hand and local resources from moss and stones to foliage. It would be assembled by an NCO and a trooper; the trooper’s role was to forage for the NCO, and the NCO would use his map and relate the information to the model to gain the correct scale. He would also be the model key: at the start of any orders, he would point out and clarify what items represented and give a basic outline. Whoever was giving the orders could then use the model to show in detail the different stages of a mission, using it as a sand table exercise. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #September1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #history #historical #ww2history #wehavewaysfest #wehavewaysfestival @wehaveways_fest
A Divisional Engineers cleared safe route, A safe route was a clean road or off road route, that has been pre checked by Royal Engineers mine clearing teams, they would clear the route and mark it with white Cotten mine tape, then sign the route with safe direction signs.

The Daimler Scout Car, known in service as the Daimler Dingo (after the Australian wild dog), is a British light, fast four-wheel drive reconnaissance vehicle also used for liaison during the Second World War. The Dingo was first used by the British Expeditionary Force (1st Armoured Division and 4th Royal Northumberland Fusiliers) during the Battle of France. It turned out to be so successful that no replacement was sought until 1952 with the production of the Daimler Ferret. Principal users were reconnaissance units with a typical late-war recce troop consisting of two Daimler Armoured Cars and two Daimler Dingoes. The vehicle was highly sought-after with damaged Dingoes often being recovered from vehicle dumps and reconditioned for use as private runabouts. One such 'off establishment' vehicle was rebuilt from two damaged Dingoes in Normandy, 1944, by REME vehicle fitters of 86th Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery. They operated this Dingo for about a week before a higher-ranking officer spotted it and commandeered it for himself. #daimlerdingo #daimlerdingoscoutcar #armouredvehicle #armouredcar #armouredcrewman #ww2history #tanksandpanzersinfocus

1st of September 1944, C Squadron took over the lead at first light and proceeded to recce the route from Amiens to Arras. A certain amount of opposition was encountered and a large number of prisoners taken but on the whole there was not a great deal to report. Patrols made their way to the centre of Lens as night fell and, encountering no opposition, reported it as being clear but then recalled to harbour soon afterwards. The rest of the regiment, meanwhile, had been following up along the very dusty roads from Amiens and by this time were settled down in the area west of Arras. B Squadron remained on patrol for the night in the area east of St. Pol and south of Houdain, and though a fair amount of enemy movement was reported it did not result in any attack. ———————————————————————————————— A callsign from C squadron carry’s out a recce on the main route into Lens, while in a concealed location on the edge of town. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #August1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #falaisegap #falaisepocket1944 #history #historical #ww2history

30th August 1944, The regiment was following up the divisional advance most of the day, with B Squadron leading the column. B Squadron's route took it through Etrepagny and Gisors to Songeons while the rest of the Regiment followed the divisional centreline through Heudicourt-Hebecourt-Serifontaine and Hodencen Bray. In the afternoon the division was ordered to drive on though the night to Amiens in order to seize bridges Over the Somme in and to the west of the town. At 1700 hours B Squadron was given the task of seizing and holding two bridges west of Amiens and set off from Songeons as soon as possible. Two routes were used which took patrols through Grandvilliers, Poix and Quevauvillers to the two bridges. Grandvilliers contained quite a number of Enemy but the squadron managed to get through, though not until it was dark. It then had to carry on through the night and reached Equennes and Fremontiers by daybreak. Its task was made more difficult by the confusion on the roads. The British went all out too capture Amiens before the bridges could be blown, often convoys of German troops attempting to get back to the east bank of the Somme before it was too late, would travel together in the dark with British convoys not knowing who was who! It was not till daybreak the two opposing foes would realise in shock! Added to this it was raining hard, increasing the usual hazards attendant upon speedy night reconnaissance. ———————————————————————————————-Above, C Squadron vehicles wait on the Outskirts of Amiens for B squadron to continue there push to the Somme crossing points. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #August1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #falaisegap #falaisepocket1944 #history #historical #ww2history
A car commander tunes his wireless set no.19 for the days command net frequency. The Wireless Set No.19 was a wireless receiver and transmitter designed to be used by armoured troops of the British Army. It was first introduced in 1940, the No.19 began to replace the pre-war Wireless Set No.11 in 1941 but fully took over in 1942. Two Mk versions were introduced the Mk. II in 1941 and Mk. III in 1942. An improved version from Canada was introduced in 1942 and was distributed to other nations including the Soviet Union. The Wireless set could be mounted in a vehicle in a designated rack or be dismounted on an operators base board. It had a number of operating features built in, crew intercom (IC) a means for the crew of an armoured vehicle to comfortably communicate though a hard line, A Net, the A net was the primary net and was used at squadron and regiment level, B Net, the B net was a short distance transmitter and receiver used for vehicle to vehicle transmissions at no more than 1 kilometre. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #August1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #falaisegap #falaisepocket1944 #history #historical #ww2history

A number of factors had to be considered in a Reconnaissance patrol, but one of the main considerations is the limit of exploitation and boundaries, each troop would be given a “Box” this box was usually a grid square or a number of grid squares depending on the situation that the troop would conduct their Recce. This system also helped cover more ground in detail with sister troops that would recce adjacent boxes. It was also a way of stopping contamination of friendly vehicles being sighted as enemy by mistake. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #August1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #falaisegap #falaisepocket1944 #history #historical #ww2history #recce #reconnaissance
21st August 1944, The regiment was to lead 11th Armoured Division along two routes to Gace and St. Evroult and also to send patrols south-east from Bourge St. Leonard to keep in touch with the Americans. This was effected by A Squadron which set off in very poor rain soaked visibility early in the morning on its three routes. The first point on the main route was Chambois where the Poles and Americans had joined hands and succeeded in finally closing up the "Pocket” The place was a complete Shambles and as a result had to be bypassed. After difficulty in finding a crossing of the Dives, troops with leading tanks from the 11th Armoured Division eventually reached Gace in the late afternoon to find it held by the enemy. Lt. R. L.Richards and Tpr. Climie were negotiating a track south of the main road at Courmenil when their car blew up on a large explosive charge and they were both killed instantly. The 11th Armoured Division took Gace during the evening and pushed on through the town. Contact was maintained all day with the Americans on the right. ———————————————————————————————— Above, the stark reality of war. A burning Daimler light scout car that that was knocked out by enemy action. With the job of reconnaissance troops to lead from the front and pull the divisions forward every crew had to be on top of there game, but for some they would make the ultimate sacrifice. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #August1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #falaisegap #falaisepocket1944 #history #historical #ww2history
August 20th 1944, The regiment spent the day in reserve and apart from a slight scare which occured when the Germans were reported to be trying to escape from Argentan through the Petit Forêt de Gouffern, all squadrons had a quiet day.——————————————————————— ————————A Car crew settle in for a days rest with a cigarette to start.

19th August 1944, A Squadron was sent out to watch the river front, from Putanges to Ecouche and was greatly assisted by 3rd US Armoured Division, whose infantry cleared up small parties of the enemy which had been left the wrong side of the Orne. At 1045 hours the squadron was recalled and in the afternoon was ordered to make its way to the Petit Forêt de Gouffern. It was there to await orders which would be to recce the route to L'Aigle. The forest was reached very quickly and once there, patrols were to be sent to the nearby American formation H.Q. to ascertain their positions and the situation on the southern flank of the " Pocket." The information was obtained and British 11th Armoured Division was given full dispositions of 80th and 90th U.S. Infantry Divisions and 2nd French Armoured Division. The open flap of the "Pocket " was about to be closed and the Germans trapped inside it was being heavily attacked from all sides and especially from the Air.———————————————————————————————-A light Scout car from A Squadron working along side US Troops from the US 3rd Armoured Division. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #August1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #falaisegap #falaisepocket1944 #history #historical #ww2history #us3rdarmoreddivision
August 17th 1944. A Squadron moved off from Cerisi Belle Etoile and crossed the Vere at first light and soon made its way through Aubusson. At this stage the letters B.L.A. began to mean a great deal as troops were accorded a rapturous welcome in every liberated town and hamlet. Flowers, fruit and wines were given freely and more than gratefully received, though the regiment found that there stocks of cigarettes were woefully low or even non-existent when they returned to harbours for the night. The western outskirts of Flers was soon reached but the road was found to have been mined. Here, however, a great deal of assistance was given to the troops as the mines had been uncovered and the area roped off; a warning notice, written in English, had also been posted up by the nuns of a nearby convent. From Flers the route led to Briouze and the river Rouve, but after A Squadron had made an advance of four or five miles they were relieved by D Squadron, and went north through Ronfugeraie to recce bridges over the Rouve. Those at Taillebois and Breel were found to have been destroyed but the Engineers bridged the river at Taillebois during the night. D Squadron, meanwhile, was approaching Briouze after a long and steady reconnaissance, when Cpl Baines was killed by a sniper. Shortly afterwards contact was made with members of the American Fifth Corps. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #August1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #falaisegap #falaisepocket1944 #history #historical #ww2history #usarmyww2
A car driver carry’s out vehicle maintenance on his light Scout car while in a Regimental holding area. Although British Army reconnaissance vehicles like the Daimler light scout, Daimler Armoured car, Humber light scout and Humber Armoured car were vehicles way a head of their time in ways of technical capability. With reliable pre war engines, state of the art running gear and especially Daimler vehicles with their fluid flywheel transmissions! The Daimler dingo was a favourite of the German army and the Dingo’s captured in the early stages of the war at Dunkirk, Greece, Africa and Dieppe were quickly put back into service with the German Heer forces. But with such vehicles comes a price, they are very maintenance heavy, repairing such machines was time consuming and complex, but what did out way that downfall was that they had great reliability and survivability all the things that mattered on the battlefield. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #August1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #falaisegap #falaisepocket1944 #history #historical #ww2history
Troops from B Squadron carry out a dismounted Reconnaissance task hunting out German forward positions in the wooded area South of St. Jean Le Blanc, 11th August 1944. Although the low profile, speed and agility of British Reconnaissance vehicles were weapons crews could utilise to a great advantage, it was not always possible to achieve a reconnaissance task mounted up. Crews would be expected to lay up their vehicles in a troop hide and send out dismounted reconnaissance patrols to get close to enemy locations, then absorb the information needed. This doctrine and the methods of the Reconnaissance would go on to build the modern British Close Target Reconnaissance tactic. #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #August1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #falaisegap #falaisepocket1944 #history #historical #ww2history

August 6th-7th 1944. A provisional plan was detailed for the regiment, with 2nd Household Cavalry Regiment under IOC command, to pass through the American lines to the area of Domfront, from where it was to advance south- east towards Alencon and fan out north from the Dom-front-Alencon road towards Argentan and Condé sur Noireau. The objective was to disrupt and destroy enemy supply columns and particularly petrol and ammunition lorries, thus aiming at weakening the resistance of the enemy around Vire, Estry, Vassy and Condé sur Noireau. Fortunately for the Two regiments the Americans were planning to clear the area themselves with two corps and the project was cancelled. —————————————————————— Above a scout car crew conducting a Close Target Recce on Enemy positions close to St. Jean Le Blanc, putting together a sketch map of locations and taking note of key timings of troop movements and patterns #innsofcourt #innsofcourtregiment #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #normandyfrance #normandy1944 #ww2 #ww2vehicles #ww2british #August1944 #livinghistory #ww2livinghistory #falaisegap #falaisepocket1944

The Commander of an Inns Of Court Dingo is seen providing Close Reconnaissance on a German Military Installation somewhere in Northern France. The squat nature of the Dingo blends in well with the tall vegetation found here. ————————————————————— Living as a Dingo crew for even just a few hours have me an idea of the work these men carried out and I’ve gained a huge amount of respect for them. #innsofcourt #yeomanry #normandy #nepture #armoured #armouredreconnaissance #recce #armouredrecce #dingo #daimler #daimlerdingo #scoutcar #ragingbulls #binoculars #ww2 #ww2britisharmy #lawyers #picoftheday #photography #livinghistory #ww2history #ww2reenactment #secondworldwar #alliedforces #findthem #liveoffyourvehicle #RAC #royalarmouredcorps #ammoboots #trf
