Light Tank Mark VIB from the right

Here we see the Light Tank Mk VIB from the right, looking straight down the barrels of the two machine guns in the turret. In 1940 the Mk VIB was in the same class as the Panzer II, but the pre-war belief that it wouldn't need to fight other tanks proved to be false, and it proved to be very vulnerable when faced with the Panzer III.

Picture from the author's collection. The tank is in the collection of the very impressive Bovington Tank Museum
