Hmm...........

AFAIK "Alecto" was an experimental AFV of the following design (1944) - 3.75 inch (95 mm) howitzer mounted on a "Harry Hopkins" light tank chassis. The gun was mounted in an open topped structure facing to the rear. The trials uncovered various problems but by the time they were solved the war in Europe was over already. With no prospect for use in the Far East, the project was ended.
