Topic: Light Tank Mk III


  
  Valentine tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Based on the A10 Cruiser tank, the Valentine was privately designed by the Vickers-Armstrong corporation (hence its lack of an "A" designation) and was submitted to the War Office in February 1938.
The development team tried to combine the weight of a cruiser tank (so that suspension and transmission parts of the A10 could be used) with the armour of an infantry tank, which led to very small vehicle with crammed interior and two-man turret.
The tank had riveted hull, was powered by AEC A189 135 hp gasoline engine and equipped with a 2 pdr.

 Great Britain's Light Tanks
Having a strong resemblance to the British Light Tank Mark IV of WW2 North Africa fame, the main difference was in the shape of the turret, and the suspension.
Light tanks in general, and all tanks armed only with machine guns fared so poorly in France that this model was very nearly scrapped out of hand.
This tank was built a bit on the heavy side of light tanks of the period as it came complete with a 37mm main gun and five.30cal machine guns (what other "light" tank can claim that).

 FM 17-18 CHAPTER 4 LIGHT ARMOR PLATOON
The light infantry S2 may not be aware of the IPB needs of the light armor platoon; therefore, the light armor platoon leader should ask the battalion S2 for the following: the number of enemy forces; the armor protection level and armor-piercing capability of enemy forces; and terrain analysis requirements for mobility corridors.
In the light infantry, a critical responsibility for scouts is to identify gaps.
Typically, the light armor platoon is used in the light infantry defense as a mobile reserve and counterattack force in the sector or antiarmor defense.

 Vickers Mk.E tank in Polish service
The tanks were officially accepted by the Polish Army in August 1934, after the modifications were completed and after a 1200-km test raid of two tanks.
The second unit to use Vickers tanks was the 12th light tank company of the Warsaw Armoured-Motorized Brigade (WBP-M), commanded by Cpt.

 Vickers 6-Ton Tank (Mk. E)
E) light tank was constructed in 1928 in the British Vickers-Armstrongs Ltd factory, as a private venture.
Earlier tanks were either armed with only one weapon (like Renault family), or different weapons placed in different sides of turret, which were hard to be manned by one man. Duplex mounting allowed instant change between a gun or machine gun fire, depending on a target.
The tank was of classic construction, with a combat compartment in the middle, and an engine compartment in the rear.

MkIISAS's fitted with long range fuel tank and a side ladder, were used to transport Allied agents into enemy occupied territory and to pick up "evacuees".
When the serious fighting got going it was found to be impractical, as it was too big, too heavy and too vulnerable and needed massive support of fuel and mechanics.
Lysanders were replaced by small light planes such as the Piper L-4 Cub.

 VICKERS-CLYNO 'Mk' III (Part 1)
Appropriately enough, it was the Machine Gun Corps which later manned the first British tanks in 1916 and from which the Tank Corps later grew.
The tool box atop the fuel tank was too long to allow full movement of the handlebars so I cut about a third off the length; the rear rack was also too long to fit properly so I cut it down by about a third.
Light weathering was done with acrylic washes of 'Dark Earth' and 'Rust', and the shadow details were picked out with very thin 'Burnt Umber'.

The Mk III air suspension is a further developed version of that pioneered on late model Classics and the entire model run of the 4.0/4.6.

Curt Anderson reported the same problem when his RR was 2 months old --the dealer had to replace the coolant overflow tank "and it was fixed but what a pain!" Please email me if you experience this or any other problem with the cooling system.

 The VPI HW-19 MK-III Turntable
It is best if you do not attach it - simply, use it as cover when the table is not in use (highly recommended to keep the piano fl finish somewhat clean).
In comparison with lesser ‘tables, the MK-III shone a very musical light over the soundstage and captured the string basses of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with better definition - even the notes from their low C extensions could be heard more clearly.
The recording of the introductory theme sheds some light on the differences between it and lesser ‘tables; a slightly sharp French horn follows the gentle and beautifully phrased opening melody, the sharpness never before having been in evidence.

 Matilda - A12 Matilda Mk 2 Infantry Tank WW2
The Infantry Tank Mk 2 was designed at the Woolwich Arsenal as an improvement on the Mk 1 which only had a machine gun for armament.
Like other Infantry class tanks it was heavily armoured; the armour thickness at the front was about ~7.5cm, much more than most contemporaries.
Due to the thickness of its armour, it was largely immune to the guns of the German tanks in France.
