Light tanks
Good afternoon,
could you help me to identify these tanks on press photos (no legend for the first one) ? Laurent |

Hi Laurent ,
Found the same photo on pinterest with the description : "British Vickers Light Tank Mark IIB Indian Pattern at Khyber Pass, 1940." https://www.pinterest.com/pin/583356957958942771/ .

Hi Laurent,
The first one is Vickers Light Tank Mk IIA or IIB used on the North West Frontier. I think the Indian Pattern Mk II has the suspension springs at an angle rather than horizontal as here. The second photo shows Vickers Medium Mk IIs but not sure of the Mark sub-variation(s). John |
