Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
Some 940 of these Harry Hopkins tanks were ordered from Metropolitan-Cammell and Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company but only 100 were produced, all by Metro-Cammell. Its label states “This example was once seen at a Royal Armoured Corps display in the sixties dressed up to look like a ship, complete with masts and paddles, and at another time took part, without its turret, in soft ground-crossing trials that resulted in the development of the Scorpion”. The trials took place at Lulworth.
This tank underwent restoration in the Tank Museum workshops during 2007. Its original registration was uncovered, as well as a marking referring to its manufacture: “METRO CAM 17-6-42”.
