Rolls-Royce Armoured Car - Survivors

Survivors

  • A Rolls-Royce 1920 Pattern Mark I is on display at the Bovington Tank Museum in Bovington, England. The vehicle is displayed in the museum's inter-war years gallery. David Wiley, curator of the museum, called it "one of the best exhibits we have"
  • One, ARR-2, Sliabh na mBan, was retained by the Irish army and is generally accepted to be the car that was accompanying IRA Leader Michael Collins on the day he was killed. This is one of only two still running today, and is regularly aired during parades and open days, often being driven under its own power. It has recently undergone a complete refurbishment, which involved a complete strip down and rebuild. It is maintained by the Irish Defence Forces Cavalry Corps in the Curragh Camp.
  • One of the 12 sold (ARR-1 Danny Boy/Tom Keogh) survives with a collector in England.

Famous quotes containing the word survivors:

    I want to celebrate these elms which have been spared by the plague, these survivors of a once flourishing tribe commemorated by all the Elm Streets in America. But to celebrate them is to be silent about the people who sit and sleep underneath them, the homeless poor who are hauled away by the city like trash, except it has no place to dump them. To speak of one thing is to suppress another.
    Lisel Mueller (b. 1924)

    I believe that all the survivors are mad. One time or another their madness will explode. You cannot absorb that much madness and not be influenced by it. That is why the children of survivors are so tragic. I see them in school. They don’t know how to handle their parents. They see that their parents are traumatized: they scream and don’t react normally.
    Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
