Topic: Gun Carrier Mark I


  
  Gun Carrier Mk 1 Pictures
The Gun Carrier was suggested as a companion machine to the Mark I Tank, to carry forward medium artillery and ammunition over shell-torn ground covered with old and new trench systems.
The Gun Carrier, Mark I, as it be­came designated, used the main mechanical components of Tank, Mark I, including the steering tail wheels (which were later discarded).
Overall tracks, as in the heavy tanks, were not provided for in the Gun Carrier and the fact that the tracks went through tunnels under the front crew cabs and the rear compartment led to difficulties with mud col­lecting at these points.

De Gun Carrier Mark I is niet in strikte zin een ombouw van de Mark I, maar is wél van zijn onderdelen vervaardigd.
De enige Mark I die nog bestaat is No. 702: het exemplaar dat in 1919 aan Lord Salisbury werd gegeven als dank voor het beschikbaar stellen van zijn landgoed Hatfield Park voor de eerste rijproeven en dat aldaar als monument stond tot 1970, toen het naar Bovington werd overgebracht voor (oppervlakkige) restauratie en tentoonstelling.

The base plate was carried on the front of the Carrier on earlier models and on the rear later on.
