This Valentine is fitted with an AEC diesel engine, making it a Mark II. It was built in October 1940 so it was one of the first; it is therefore presumed to have been most likely built by Vickers. It was put on the museum books in 1949. In the past it was displayed fitted with a coin-operated turret traverse system. It has a data plate attached to the left track guard that reads:
INFANTRY TANK MARK III.
VICKERS-ARMSTRONGS DESIGN
2924 W.D. NO T16065
DATE OCT – 1940 |
A Valentine 2pdr gunnery training stand is displayed nearby.
