Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
This FT is fitted with a one-piece cast turret with central cupola and hatch, a cast steel driver's visor, and a swivel-mounted machine gun. It was built at Billancourt-Seine in December 1917. It appears to have been part of the Imperial War Museum collection after the First World War and arrived at the Tank Museum as part of an exchange of exhibits in 1965. The tail skid turned up about 20 years later, having been discovered in a store at IWM Duxford. A plate on the front reads “NON PROTÉGÉ” and indicates that the hull is unarmoured, fabricated from mild steel; 150 of these were produced and equipped with a cast turret mounting an 8mm Hotchkiss machine-gun, they were used for training. As received it had nothing inside at all; no driving controls, seats, turret fittings or mechanical components.
It is currently displayed with the left-hand suspension removed.
