More MG for D-Day ?

Two years ago on D-day we argued that the first to arrive in occupied France was an MG-made nosepiece of an Albemarle Bomber plane. However, according to MG-historian Wiard Krook, things could have been different if MG was allowed to proceed with this Military MG. Sometime in the 1930s Cecil Cousins, who was the foreman of the MG experimental department, worked on the project of this Light Armoured Vehicle. Its body was made of plywood and rested on the chassis of an early MG J2 Midget, judging by the Rotax headlights dating from 1932. On the other hand it could also have been the chassis of a six-cylinder F-type Magna. Anyhow, this project never went beyond the early development stages.
