Medium panning shot of a moving vehicle which looks like a tank. Interesting thing is that it has proper tyres (three pairs). Vehicle stops in front of an officer standing in the middle of the road. M/S of a man climbing down the vehicle. Two officers salute.
This is steel vehicle "Saladin", armoured car designed to be the principal reconnaissance vehicle of the British Army. It is in the Army's Fighting Vehicle Research and Development Establishment at Chobham, Surrey, that the vehicle was created. Voiceover talks about its characteristics.
Several M/S and C/U shots demonstrating vehicle's capacity and characteristics. M/S of the armoured car moving. Its top is opened and one of the crew is observing the terrain. Vehicle arrives at polygon where it is tested in front of the camera. "Saladin" drives across the line of humps, across icy terrain, drives upwards etc. The two men who saluted to each other previously are now monitoring the vehicle being tested.
Vehicle manages to overcome all the obstacles. The two men climb up and drive off.
Note: Mute neg for this story is missing.

“Like an ice cube in a cocktail shaker.”
that volvo's got a cool paint job
My great grandad was in Kings Dragoon Guards and in WW2 they were merging with bays around this time.
...76mm...
Thanks for posting, excellent!
Amazing facts: the Rolls Royce B80 engine which powered the Saladin, as this vehicle was known, had a few parts in it once used by the Roll Royce Silver Ghost engine, which I think dates back to about 1912. How did the Russian Army sleep at night?
T80 engines are just updated T34 engines
This is effective even today. just need some update with night scope and camera and so
The British Army seemed to have a good run in procuring recce vehicles from WW2 into the 70's: Dingo; Daimler; Ferret; Saladin; Fox; Scorpion; Scimitar. Not a lemon amongst them.
Ferret, The Belfast Taxi 😜👍
What's the music in this? I've heard it in a number of these films.
Dastorm - Sandrude
Spirit Of Industry - Trevor Duncan
Shame that test track is soon to be a housing estate
Great 👍
Meanwhile in CURRENT_YEAR, people are falling of of the Ajax and throwing up from the ride quality.
Saladin APC give two more wheels and heavier armour and chain gun and gpmg and four missles and 7 soldiers make a formidable platform
Shame we do not have these in war thunder.
It didn't have disc brakes
And that engine didn't sound like the B80
👍👍
It was a 76.2 mm gun not 75 mm
It has 76mm
