Matilda Mk II turret

Matilda Mk II turret

Here we see the turret of the Matilda Mk II. The Matilda Mk II used the same AEC engine as the Matilda Mk I, but replaced the Vickers machine gun with a Besa machine gun that lacked the armoured sleeve of the Vickers gun.

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