Default Other Aust Trials

Also trialled in Australia on Grant and Matilda tanks, and on the Sten SMG Mk3.

Not tropic proofed and not adopted for service. The partial remains of a Tabby system existed in a private military museum on the Gold Coast many years ago, but they had no clue as to what it was (and were not interested).

When I first had that file cleared for public access in the late 1980s, it was just listed in the paper file listing as 'Tabby', and I thought I was getting a report on the Japanese copy of the C-47 aircraft code named 'Tabby'. Pleasantly surprised when the file arrived in the reading room!

Default Tabby

Wheels & Tracks Issue 53 includes an article "Tabby Night-Driving Equipment". If needed I can get the details.

Here's a hint CMPs had mounting points for Tabby equipment?
