| Tribuni Angusticlavii | I believe you are looking at a Mark 4 Tank from WWI yes World War One, the first apperance of the Tank in history... Here is a wikipedia of the Mark class British tank from 1916 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_I_tank It's a tough call, either a Mark 4 or a Mark 5....

I have exactly the same photo in a book I own, British Tanks and Fighting Vehicles by B.T. White. Its a MK V* (Female) The second photo appears to be a Mk V (Male), but without a side view I cannot be certain. ps, the MK V* was a Mk V with the hull length increased by 3 feet to improve trench crossing ability

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | That wikipedia was a broken link odd here is the actual one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_I_tank They do look like the the Mark 5.... The top one is def a Mark 5 Male http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:B...le%29_tank.jpg Then agian it could be a Mark 5 star star (with a second turret) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:B...-star_Tank.jpg If you know what musem that second one was taken at you could figure out pretty easier by matching it up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_I_...iving_Vehicles Last edited by Donkey; October 6th, 2006 at 19:40. |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | That is an interesting tank.... The crew had to lie on their bellies in a extremely tiny space between the engine and the roof (90cm or slightly under 3 feet)...So much to say that crew members where not clastraphobic... There is also some dispute over the name, well the CA part anyways... |
