Hi Rich,

The wading tank photo was taken at the Fighting Vehicle Research & Development Establishment, Chertsey, Surrey. The number 61 denotes the exhibit number in the guide book at one of the regular exhibitions of British military equipment at that site. I have recently written several articles with numerous photos of these exhibitions in the 50's and 60's in Vintage Roadscene magazine in the UK.

regards, Richard
