Summary
Pathe synopsis: The "Saladin" is an armoured vehicle, designed to be the principal reconnaissance vehicle of the British Army. Among many refinements are six-wheel drive, independent suspension, power-assisted steering on the front four wheels and disc brakes. We see it going through its paces at the Fighting Vehicle Research and Development Establishment at Chobham, Surrey.
