Pictures from the Bovington Tank Museum: British Tanks

More pictures from the Bovington Tank Museum, this time of British tanks from World War II.

The Tortoise, an experimental prototype of a super-wide, super-heavy assault tank (actually a self-propelled gun) that made it off the production line too late to fight in World War II.

Matilda I infantry tank. I think most of the Mark I’s were destroyed in the fall of France.

Cruiser Tank Mark I…

…and Mark II.

Maybach tank transmission.

The Valentine Archer.

Valentine Mark II.

The Churchill tank. Not sure why the main barrel was off.

Black Prince, an experimental wider, heavier Churchill.

Churchill Mark III.

Centurion Mark I.

Centurion engine.

Cruiser Comet.

Cromwell Cruiser.

Tank gearbox.

I think this is a Mark VI light tank.
