So I was watching this documentary on WWII

[Roonwit]

.. and it was showing footage of British tanks in Normandy, and I noticed that they had names painted on their sides, and one of them was called "PUDDLE JUMPER"

hehe

Hello Im new here btw.

That is a coincidence but it is probably a plausible name considering the puddles that these vehicles had to transverse.

Would you happen to know the nname of the documentary?

Owen Macri

[Jeff O'Connor]

Uh huh, very plausible lol

The documentary was called D-Day to Berlin and it was on BBC1 on Tuesday.

Thanks for the welcome peeps :~)

Allied Jeeps also had the nickname of "Puddle Jumper". Saw it on an episode of Mail Call.

Vehicle names and designations like "puddle jumper" and "runabout" aren't too original when used in TV.

Puddle jumpers

Just like all Stargate mythology has some basis in Earth mythology
