A collection of die-cast military vehicles produced in England, primarily by Dinky Toys. The group features several large-scale units including a Thornycroft Mighty Antar tank transporter with a matching articulated trailer and loading ramps, alongside a recovery tractor fitted with a rear crane apparatus. Support vehicles include an armoured command vehicle and a field gun with its accompanying limber. The assortment is completed by various four and six-wheeled utility trucks with both open and covered beds. One green utility vehicle features an impressed mark to the underside reading DINKY TOYS, ARMY WAGON, MADE IN ENGLAND, MECCANO LTD, with the model number 623 visible near the front axle. A single smaller vehicle in the group is finished in a brownish-green tone with a white five-pointed star decal to the bonnet, distinct from the olive green finish of the primary collection. The models are constructed from die-cast metal with original rubber or plastic tyres.
