Recon Small Vehicle Important Job

From the earliest days of the Armored Fighting Vehicle (AFV) to today the fast lightly armored and armed recon vehicle has filled the niche that for thousands of years was the prerogative of the cavalry. To search out the locations and strengths of the enemy his dangerous job of the recon warriors. This British recon AFV, a Daimler Ferret, (the emblem on the small machine gun turret is for British Parachute Regiment), at the Guards Museum in London, must have been a tight fit for anyone my size, I'm six feet tall, weigh 195 Ibs. and would have a tough time getting comfortable in such a low profile vehicle.
