Was this in Australia ?
There was a Shorland (on loan) on display at the Tank museum in Narree warren a few years back.
Hello Young Eric,
As per this description ... Accessed December 1, 2016 from,
http://shorlandsite.com/CarMark3.htm ... Please note - not from a Wiki site
The are mostly found in ... "three land rovers in
Northern Island meet at a rural VCP (Vehicle Check Point). The driver of the civilian Land Rover is being questioned by a member of the UDR (Ulster Defence Regiment) whilst a colleague looks on beside an Army Series 3 Land Rover. This also provides cover for a third colleague who is less obvious.
The other side of the road is dominated by the Shorland, which was often used to provide an authoritative basis for such spot checks. Note the angle iron wire cutter welded to the turret, to deflect or cut wires strung across the road aimed at decapitating the gunner if he was to put his head out of the turret".
I like the way they wrote "used to provide an authoritative basis". Like most armoured vehicles they are designed to protect the people inside and intimidate those on the outside
Kind Regards
Lionel
