	Airfix 01318 - A.12 Infantry Tank Mk.II - Matilda III
		Matilda infantry tanks were used by the British Army in France and North Africa until gradually replaced by M3 Lee/Grant and M4 Sherman tanks in 1942.
		The Matilda was very popular due to its heavy armour protection which rendered it immune from all Italian tanks in North Africa as well as many of the German anti-tank weapons available early in the war.
		Matilda tanks captured in the 1940 campaign were later converted to Panzerjäger (tank hunters), and these vehicles took part in the defense of the Atlantic Wall.

	Matilda MK I / Mk II
		Matilda MK I / Mk II Matilda MK I / Mk II The idea of the 'infantry tank' first arose in April 1934 when the idea for a tank that could work well with infantry was proposed.
		This Mk I carried only a.50 cal machine gun and this limited armament led to the development of the MK II or A12 Infantry tank which had been designed in November 1936 with the mock up ready by April 1937.
		Although not easy to mass produce and very slow the MK II's very heavy armour made it virtually immune to anti tank weapons until the arrival of the German 88mm guns in mid 1941 and made the Matilda the Queen of the Desert in the Western Desert Campaigns in Libya in 1940.

	Tanknet > Infantry Tank CHURCHILLs name
		Churchills Tank" does not give a reason, just states that when the naming practive was introduced in september 1941, the Infantry Tank Mk.
		The official use of tank names, including "C"-names was apparently started in September 1941 on the insistance of Churchill because he had tired of the naming practice introduced in June 1940 by which the Churchill tank was Tank, Infantry, Mk IV and so forth.
		AFAIK the German use of names for their tanks was ordered by Hitler because he, like Churchill, got fed up with the confusing naming practice used hitherto: "Jagdpanther" being a bit easier to work with than "schweres Sturmgeschütz auf Fahrgestell Panther mit 8,8cm L/71".
