Humber Pig, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Officially designated Truck, Armoured, 1 Ton, 4×4, the Humber Pig is based on the FV1600 series of four wheel drive 1-ton payload trucks manufactured for the British Army by Rootes from 1952 to 1955.[1] The Pig FV1611 is the armoured variant of FV1601 CT Truck and the FV1612 the armoured version of the FV1602 CT FFW Truck. As FV1609 an armoured version was originally designed to fulfil many roles with Royal Armoured Corps, Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, RS, REME and infantry. The full armoured body was fitted to fulfil the need for an armoured personnel carrier until the Alvis Saracen could be delivered in numbers.[1][2] The armoured bodies were produced by J.Sankey as well as the Royal Ordnance Factories.[1] Of 3,700 Humber trucks some 1,700 Pigs were produced

Pigs were used to tow the Green Archer and Silent Generator on 3 part trailers
