Vehicle History

Our exhibit seems to have remained on the books of the Royal Armoured Corps Centre for some years after the war. It is believed to be the tank that appears, without its turret, in special mud-crossing trials at Lulworth and on one occassion, in the early sixties, it appeared at an RAC Centre Open Day dressed up as a comic ship.
