[Error: In this case, red bolts = "Mechanic use only". I guess you had to remember which bolts were reverse-thread!] The Associated Equipment Company decided to make a wheeled tank. The initial version with a Valentine turret and 2pr gun was replaced in production by the Mk II, with a 6pr. This example is located in Bastogne Barracks, and is part of the Belgian military's War Heritage Institute collection. This is the first batch where I have invested in bringing along a cameraman/editor, goes by FixItInPost, and as you can imagine, he doesn't work for free. Any financial support you can throw in below would be greatly appreciated. This was a test case to see if it's economically viable.

Lean, mean... and with a number of flaws not immediately evident, it was a tank which had a psychological and cultural effect far in excess of its numbers built. This vehicle is located in Bastogne ...

A side-upgrade of SK-105. Often incorrectly terms "SK-105A3", this pre-dates the A2 upgrade and wasn't given a designation.
