Churchill Crocodile
Churchill Crocodile with the hooded flame projector ball-mounted in the hull front plate (no more than 800 Crocodile conversion kits were produced.[31])
The Churchill Crocodile was a Churchill VII which was converted by replacing the hull machine gun with a flamethrower. The fuel was in an armoured wheeled trailer towed behind. It could fire several 1 second bursts over 150 yards. The Crocodile was one of "Hobart's Funnies" – another vehicle used by the 79th Armoured Division. A working example can still be seen at the Cobbaton Combat Collection in North Devon.
