Nice picture, although not well labelled I dont think. More likely from the Vickers Light Tank stable, in my unqualified humble opinion.
What is it Hanno?

I second that. :cheers:

Don't think the date is correct either. Dragon's were removed from service in the late 20's/early 30's weren't they??

The front drive certainly looks like vickers, so berhaps it may have a meadows engine. I would love to have that final drive and those wheels.

Lynn,

Like you said, from the Vickers stable: this is a Vickers Dragon light artillery tractor.

Have any of these carriers survived? They are certainly worth doing a replica or two I reckon
