The Lagonda company produced a number of flamethrowers during the Second World War.
Initial developments were for defence against expected German attacks. It was believed that it would act as a deterrent to Luftwaffe dive-bombers targeting the lightly defended Merchant Navy ships and coastal bases of the Fleet Air Arm. The project was jointly managed by special-weapons departments of the Navy and the British Army.
Later on they produced flamethrowers for fitting to armoured vehicles.
