Cheers Ron.
Really enjoying these. Now if only I could come across something like this now and down my way.

Can anybody work out if the tank and crew are Australian or British?
I'm not sure the Kiwi's had Matilda's did they?

Kiwi Matildas
 
A few Matildas were shipped to NZ, not sure how much use they had. As far as I know we sent them to OZ, after removing the 3" howitzers from some of them for our own use

The Australian Govt. purchased all the Matilda tanks that the NZ army had while the NZ army concentrated on Valentine tanks. :)

By the way of the six that I bought on this day both of the ones that I am showing you today were complete and running, I still have a spare set of engine covers left over that I no longer need

chicken coop matilda
 
Indeed, fine picks Ron.
The chicken coop Matilda, am I correct in guessing it was originally a Matilda dozer? It has attachments on the side for them.

Hi Ron, some very interesting photo's. Just wondering if you could tell us what ever happened to these Tanks. Clearly there was some great potential for a number of restoration projects. Did anything ever become of these tanks or did the scrapper get the better of them?

Cheers
Steve
