British Vector 6x6 Armoured Patrol Vehicle
A new vehicle entering service with the British Army as a patrol vehicle and convoy escort. It has better armour and protection than a snatch landrover but is more manouverable and less intimidating than a tracked APC. The photographer was also told that when fully closed down, the climate control is excellent, even in current theatres.

Featured review :
1812 Napoleon in Moscow
Paul Britten Austin
It is difficult to evaluate this book which has a confusing conflict between style and content. As a style the author has adopted the appalling affectation of the use of the present tense to describe the past. This in parts makes gaining a clear understanding more difficult than it needs to be. The content is well researched and appropriately selected giving real insights into the French in Moscow. The real quality of the book is that we get to see the big event from many personal perspectives. In the introduction the author apologizes, and so he should, for his 'syntactic and grammatical deviations' for these in part make difficult reading of what otherwise would be a very good book.
