Bulgarian armored car (cars?) in WWI
Permalink   

Until today I thought that Bulgarians had no armoured cars in WWI, but then here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Armoured_Car I found this sentence "At least one car (see photo) was captured at the Dobruja Front at 17 November 1916 by the Bulgarian Army" (by the way I can't see the photo there...). And later on our forum I found this photo: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/5602/grinnols.9c/0_4e1fd_302afa09_XL and explanation by Ivan: "Skobeleff" is Austin 2nd Series, captured 1916 by Bulgarian solders in Romanian front (on the phpto Russian oficer and Bulgarian engineer)."

Now some questions wink:

1. Is this one and only or two different armoured cars mentioned in quotations above? I guess both refer to one vehicle.

2. Was it used in battle? If yes - where and when?

3. Are any other known photos and information about this vehicle?

4. Were there more armoured cars captured by Bulgarians?

5. Did Bulgarians produce armoured cars? I guess they didn't.

1) Only one armored Bulgarians captured Austin 2nd - "Skobeleff", he served in their army to the mid 30s.

2) The Bulgarians in battle it is not used.

3) Yes, I have a lot of pictures, even in 1930, but to show them I have no right (other friends sent me from Bulgaria).

4) See point 1.

5) Bulgarians are not produced armored cars.

Thanks a lot Ivan, I knew I could count on you smile 

By the way I love your book "Automobiles of Russian Imperial Army" (which contains a chapter on armoured cars) though I wish there was a version in English wink
