Vickers AA Carrier

[Hanno Spoelstra]

This Vickers 40-mm AA Carrier is preserved in Thailand. It is an extremely rare variant of the highly succesful Vickers-Armstrong export product, the Vickers 6-ton tank. In 1933 Thailand purchased 10 units of the single turret type, and a further order was placed in 1935 for an unknown amount. Most likely, this AA Carrier was part of the 1935 order.

Here´s hoping it will not only be preserved, but possibly restored.
