Here David Fletcher discusses the Leyland Armoured Car which was produced in the 1930s for the Irish Army, but with some alterations, saw service right through to the 1980s. We haven’t forgotten about Tank Chat #100 – we have something special planned when we all get back to normality. Stay tuned!

Sit back and let the Einstein of tanks enlighten you.
Great video, David! Very nice to see an Irish military vehicle on the channel.
"I am David Fletcher, I speak for the Tanks"
He's my favorite historian. I like his humor.
preston tucker tried selling a proto type simular to this , looks like he copied the design from this one
thank you ,
can you or anyone despell a myth that the… first deployment of tanks in an urban environment / city .
was Dublin 1916 , iv heard this a couple of times ,
Thanks and best regards from Ireland lads. Keep up the good work.
Excellent show and vehicle to show us! Thank you.
Sweden had right hand drive until the end of the 1960s so the LHD Landsberg might have been their standard export version.
I think the space at the back may have been for troops, maybe?
The Irish defence force don't use tanks, generally. They seem to not for armoured patrol or personnel carriers or a vehicle that serves as both. They opt for MOWAGs now.
I'm not certain, just an observation.
I believe the semaphore-indicators were called 'trafficators'
Hm, I wonder how interesting it would be to have Sir David Fletch and Nicholas Moran (AKA The Chieftain) collaborating on some of these.
Lovely Video, great to see the Leyland and David both in fine form. Many thanks indeed. Be safe.
Fun Fact: The Danes added the Madsen 20 mm Cannon to Nimbus motorcycles in a special sidecar.
wow really cool!
He should learn how to pronounce Irish places it's Hoath
Where is 100?
Some needs to follow this guy around and document every thing he knows about each tank . Love these chats and your awesome Sir .
I remember the first tank chat. Time flies .
Does anyone know if there is a 1/35th scale model kit of this vehicle ?
I'd like to see this up and running , maybe at tankfest ?
Maybe with a diesel engine
That made mr potato head think twice before taking the soldiers dosh.!
Thanks for this guys. Amazing work.. definitely going to sign up To your patreon
That big space was for hauling turf and Guinness. That's how we did thing back then.
I was in the transport museum in Howth on a school trip, in the 80's.
Sweden was RHD until 1967 so why did they supply LHD vehicles?
