English Electric produced two pilot models based on a basic A27 Cromwell hull and turret with added armour. One was fitted with the T1 track and suspension used on the American M6 Heavy Tank. This was the second pilot model built, fitted with a new scissors-action suspension with widened Cromwell-type tracks (known as "R/L Heavy" type) and different side skirts. No further examples were built. This one was put on the museum books in 1949. It was on display in the museum car park for some years.
