Vickers Armstrongs is just visible on the plaque but has been erased. (Source: Museum Vehicle Record). This Tetrarch was one of the few converted to the close support (CS) role, with a 3in howitzer substituted for the usual 2pdr. It was put on the museum books in 1949. It was restored in 1984-85, along with the Vickers Medium Tank and the Praying Mantis Carrier, by Vickers Defence Systems at their Armstrong Works, Scotswood Road, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It is currently displayed inside part of a Hamilcar glider. It is believed to be in running order.
