31 Pierre-Olivier Buan, June Bison Concrete Armoured Lorry or Bison Mobile Pillbox Type 2 Bovington Tank Museum (UK) This a reconstruction of Bison type 2 vehicle. It have an original rear pillbox on a different original chassis of Thornycroft Tartar 3 ton, 6x4 lorry, the front cab section being a modern reproduction Bison Concrete Armoured Lorry or Bison Mobile Pillbox - concrete elements Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, East Kirby (UK) It was based on a 1915 Leyland lorry chassis. This Bison had been used by the Home Guard to defend RAF Digby. Later in the war, Digby was downgraded and hence the additional airfield protection was not required. It was for a while stored at Ferrybridge, Yorkshire and it was used to defend a roadblock on the A15 just outside of Sleaford. Towards the end of the war it was abandoned in a copse to the side of the A15 near Quarington Lane end. The ensuing years saw it stripped and vandalised until eventually the chassis was converted for use as a farm trailer. In 1988, the Lincolnshire Aircraft Recovery Group learned of its existence of these remains and research revealed what it really was.on 22 March 1991 the remains of the Bison were taken to the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre; they still retain traces of camouflage paint, and one of the sections has its original wooden shuttering (source: wikipedia)
