Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
This amphibious tank was designed and built by Vickers-Armstrong Ltd in May 1939 at their Elswick Works, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It was the only example built. It was submitted for trials during June 1939 but the type did not enter production. It spent the next few years in reserve and was then subjected to more tests after the war. It shows some signs of damage, particularly to the rear left buoyancy tank. It has ‘MWEE’ painted on the turret and is presumed to have undergone at least some of its trials at the Mechanical Warfare Experimental Establishment at Aldershot, Hampshire. It was put on the museum books in 1951.
