Hi Darrell;

The Valentine 7.92in flame mortar was an experimental vehicle consisting of a Valentine with turret removed and replaced by a fixed heavy mortar intended to project a 25 pound TNT incendiary shell to demolish concrete emplacements. Maximum range of this weapon was 2000 yards and it's effective range was 400 yards. It never made it past the trial phase by the Petroleum Warfare Department.

Cheers
