Saracen FV603
The FV603 (click here to view wiki page) Saracen was the armoured personnel carrier of Alvis' FV600 series. Besides the driver and commander, a squad of 8 soldiers plus a troop commander could be carried. Most models carried a small turret on the roof, carrying a Browning .30 MG. A .303 Bren gun could also be mounted on an anti-aircraft ring-mount accessed through a roof hatch and there were ports on the sides through which troops can fire. Although removed from active service, it saw extensive use into the 1980s in Northern Ireland and was a familiar sight during "The Troubles". At times they even appeared on the streets of Hull, a less-hostile atmosphere for driver training in a city of similar appearance to Belfast.
