Default Tony

I have no idea really. The last thing I want to do is start another myth, because there are enough of them around already. What I believe, is that the Vickers light tank had wide track/wheels, and when Australia decided to build LP1 carriers, they adopted that option, and stuck with it. I guess the lead plug, has to be an Aust. idea. Maybe someone has the info to confirm or reject it. Maybe it was a Vickers Carden Loyd initiative. The only Vickers Light Tank, that I have seen in the flesh is the one in Pucka

Default vickers track

Here's some pics of the track thats on the tank. I have shown the vickers track which measures 70MM at the bottom between the horns and our track which is 85MM between the horns. Now this is not to say that the track I have is original but I hope it is. A few other pics as well.
Colin.
