Default Vickers Light tanks

Hi Hanno,
By chance a while back I purchased a copy of the "Handbook for Light Tanks Mks II - VI"
A re-print published by MLRS.
Quite informative, but brief descriptions, some drawings etc.

MkII, IIA, IIB and III had Rolls Royce 6 cyl engines.

MkIV, V, VI, VIA and VIB Meadows 6 cyl engines.

Changes were mainly:
  • Engine
  • Suspension
  • Turret type (armament on the VIC)
  • Fuel tank arrangement
  • Cooling arrangement
Construction, though basically similar, the type of construction differed in the way hulls were rivetted. Possibly for cost !!!

Contact me, and I can scan various sections.

My reason for buying it was to get more info on the engine, however, not as much as I thought, so I am still after photo's of a Meadows engine and drive unit, out of the vehicle.

George.
