Rolls-Royce armoured car

The Rolls-Royce armoured car was a British armoured car built in 1914 on requisitioned Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost chassis for the Royal Naval Air Service, with a fully rotating turret carrying a water-cooled Vickers machine gun. It served in the First World War, in the Irish Civil War, in the inter-war air control of Transjordan, Palestine and Mesopotamia, and in the early Second World War desert campaigns. Lawrence of Arabia used a squadron of nine in the Arab Revolt. The design was modernised as the 1920 and 1924 Patterns, an Indian Pattern followed in 1921, and some cars were rebuilt on Fordson truck chassis. Several survive in museums, and one remained in Irish Army service.
