Here is a link to a Pathe film, the year in review 1940.
Toward the end is some short clips of Vickers Light Tanks.
Very much enjoying your posts, cheers Tim

Ryan, Tim. Thanks for the photos and film Tony, thanks for the concern but I am all good but the kids are on holidays, housework, cooking, you know how it is . I still found some time to get the fuel tanks finished and had my growing apprentice Andrew doing some sealing for me. (when I can get him away from the screen games)

I have also done the water tanks that are strapped at the back.

I had to make a couple of spouts which were made from an old exhaust for the bends and I machined up the tops for the caps.

Once again you just can't fold from one end as the shape requires a sequence and some had bending as well.

Both fuel and water tanks are completed as well as the internal fuel tank supports with the felt. I needed to get these parts done so I can close the back in without having to diss assemble at a later stage.
