Little Willie from Above

Little Willie from Above

Here we see Little Willie, the first tank prototype to be completed, from above. From this angle we can see the circular plate that replaced the mockup of a turret initially installed on this vehicle. We also get a good view down onto the tracks, which used the same design as on the Mark I and later British tanks of the First World War, after the type initially used on Little Willie proved to be unsuitable.

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