Any solution would need to be one that did not compete for resources with conventional armaments. Enter the Armadillo – an improvised armoured vehicle based on several standard lorry chassis. They comprised a wooden fort protected by a layer of gravel filling its walls. The driver’s cab was protected by mild steel plates. Armadillos were used by the Royal Air Force to protect aerodromes and by the Home Guard. Most Armadillos were armed with Lewis Guns and rifles, although more than fifty were also fitted with obsolete naval guns such as this Mk. III Armadillo mounting a Hotchkiss 3-pdr.
