Nice picture, although not well labelled I dont think. More likely from the Vickers Light Tank stable, in my unqualified humble opinion.
What is it Hanno?

 Don't think the date is correct either. Dragon's were removed from service in the late 20's/early 30's weren't they??

The front drive certainly looks like vickers, so berhaps it may have a meadows engine. I would love to have that final drive and those wheels.

Like you said, from the Vickers stable: this is a Vickers Dragon light artillery tractor. Hanno

Have any of these carriers survived? They are certainly worth doing a replica or two I reckon
