David Niven brings up the PIAT! We return to the Projector, Infantry, Anti-Tank’s long and storied on-screen career. This time we are examining a scene from ‘Paper Tiger’ (1975). It's an interesting film, and certainly not one you'd expect a PIAT to pop up in! David Niven plays Mr Bradbury, a tutor to a young Japanese boy.

The STEN in the Rhineland
