The most dangerous feature of the Fox was it's radio and the map reading skills of the crew. Remember is was purely a reconnaissance vehicle, locating and reporting on the enemy without being detected. The 30mm canon was a nice addition.

These vehicles were phased out of the army because they were dangerous for the crew. On throttling back at a corner the power steering was ineffective and the tendency to go straight on. This was experienced back in the 70/80s when a fox drove from Lulworth camp to Bovington camp, the crew sitting on the turret were cut in half and the driver sustained serious head injuries. I know the civilian mechanic who had to clear up inside. Also they were top heavy and one Fox turned over killing a Army Cadet, such rides were banned.

The beauty of the Fox was it permitted reserve units to practice the reconnaissance role in peace time, very cost effectively. The Queens Own Yeomanry being prime examples. Had the Cold War turned hot. Those regiments would have been tasked with rear area reconnaissance duties and used as BCR's for their tracked equivalent units. The speed of the Fox was it's only real defence but that 30mm canon could give a nasty bite. During 1991 Gulf War the 30mm Rarden on different platforms, was engaging and destroying T55's.

The Fox was (mainly) intended for TA units whose role was to defend BAOR rear areas (MSRs, depots and bridges etc.) against Warsaw Pact air assault. It was fast enough for seriously rapid road movement in theatre (and could drive easily from UK bases to Germany). The Rarden cannon could smash BRDMs and other Soviet airborne vehicles. Although the Fox was a recce vehicle, the crew could wreak havoc from a position of cover with the GMPG and the Rarden.

Not bad, few things, fox started by Daimler was initially in its wooden model form called heavy ferret, Daimler had a major sulk when this was taken of them. she start a lot earlier however during the AVR projects which led to CVRT and CVRW. Fox and vixen are sisters rather than an adaption of. vixen was apart from ergonomically terrible deemed rather pointless to have two hulls when one could do the same thing if needed. several systems were proposed, the 25 mm was not the reproduction rather an export option as the 30 mm is planned from the outset although the RARDEN then had a 5 shot gravity clip. others inc milan as mentioned, blowpipe, stars-streak - aka starfox, and even consideration for a 90 mm and 120 mm wombat titled foxbat. these were discussed in an ORC meeting but no further work done. FOX's fate was ultimately sealed due to her predisposition to kill her own crew. after 22 serious injuries including 9 fatalities it was assed in detail by Alvis and FVRDE reps and it was found due to her heavier than planned weight in the rear she would under-steer, if drivers tried to correct this she would over-steer and flip. after the assessment it was noted that FOX should be immediately phased out of service.

It didn't quite see combat, although we had them in N.Ireland with 2nd Tanks around 1980. I remember driving through Strabane in one on the way to the ranges at Magilligan thinking it would be a mistake for the IRA to take on one of these even though we didn't carry ammo for the Rarden, only the GPMG. The Rarden was good - we only used practice rounds ( Aluminium ) but even that would go through the side armour of a Ferret and right through the engine block! The Tankies were very good, they always saved a few rounds at the end of a shoot for us REME to have a go!

Nigerian Army used in Civil War and even recently against Boko Haram and earlier with UN colours in ECOMOG contingent in Sierra Leone and Guinea Bissau. There you can see the effect and value for money of a 30mm cannon mounted on a simplified and relatively cheap platform. Couple of dozens rounds at 3000 meters will freeze some bald response from hard-minded knuckleheads, well beyond range of PKs, Dushkas and naturally RPG. More or less if you think of it is the natural ancestors concept of the modern TECHnikas, almost unprotected light platforms with a hell of (oftenly unaccurate!!) firepower. Of course i challenge any FOX with a Toyota Hj in terms of stability on paved and unpaved roads. Thanks for the video.

Be me, -plan to go to Bovington tank museum on birthday -Virus breaks out, only several cases. -Drive from Notts to the hotel. -Take all the precautions, basically seeing no one day today. -Go to the museum, no one is there except the staff and two other groups of people. -Have a great day with the museum all to yourself. -Leave for home, go into lockdown. -Next couple of days the museum closes until further notice. -Be very happy you saw it before then.
