If its 1940 it must be an updated MK1. I'm pretty sure MK2's didn't really get going until 1942.

Waiting to be proved wrong......I shall return to the workshop with my cup of tea and check how wrong this evening.

Hi Ben,
Only going on what the Tank Museum profile says.

Just found the census number on the Tank Museum website, it is T252718 which makes it a Sentinel built 3 inch Mortar No.1, Mk.2, Contract no. M1532

All the numbers seem correct, 1940 just seems very early for a MK2.

(I think we should let Richard have his thread back)

We haven"t finished the hijack yet Richie. That is a very big T number for 1940. The year has to be wrong. More in keeping with what Ben has suggested, or even later, like 43 to 44

Probably a typo on the TM website, 0 in date should have been a 3

Thank you Richard for clearing that up. Now is it a MkII or MkIII?
