I wonder if anyone can help me identify which of the photographs posted here is named Skobelev. I am interested in this specific vehicle - see the 1935 newspaper cutting here: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/11868556

The book under review there can be searched on Google Books for references to Skobelev, http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=wHY1AQAAIAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=skobelev

I am interested to link a photograph to the book if I can as the author was a relative of mine.

Thanks anyone who reads this old thread and can help.
