Ebay Find of The Day - British Firefly Vc

The Archer tank destroyer, example preserved in the Tank Museum, Bovington.  Like the Sherman Firefly, the Archer (a non-official designation) was a British response to the problem of "Tiger killing".  The concept involved mounting the excellent British 17-pounder antitank gun on the modified body/chassis of the small, obsolete Valentine infantry tan - facing to the rear.  The result was a hard-hitting ambush tank destroyer; firing from ambush, the Archer could destroy any German tank at reasonable battle range, and then drive away under forward gear without turning.  Using this method, the Archer was a reasonably successful tank killer, the usefulness was made less obvious than it might have been by relatively low production.  (Operational in Europe, June 1944-end war).   Best regards, JR.
