What I do need if anyone can help is any information as in pictures, drawings or anything that would help in the restoration of the vickers light tank to running condition.
Colin.

I think your right rick it was really the barrel and recooperater I was after.
Ron, the vickers would be a great project. It has the engine, trans, radiator, linkage and another hull with lots of stuff in it. A very unique little tank. But I will have to try ang get a bit more track because some of it is dead. Colin.

Colin, I thought there was a Light Tank on that load, you might have seen a thread about these on the forum in last few days. I did some work on the restoration of one of the ten that went to Australia, cheifly electrical and instruments, but have quite a few photos, and other info. Does it have the engine still in it? Just notice that there are two Vickers MkVI tanks, good going!

G'day Colin,
The gun is not the one from the Col Anderson Sale a couple of years ago, is it? Just looks a bit like it . Rick
