It is a conversion of the light tank MkV, MkVI.
There were two Mks, similar but differed slightly in the height and dimensions of the turret. The MkII had a similat turret as that fitted to the Humber AA, which was a MkI Humber A/C with 4 BESA MG's. After Dunkirk there was major re-think on AA vehicles......these were used primarily in the Western Desert. A MkI Humber A/C fitted with the AA turret was photographed in Denmark 1945. It's a pretty poor photo. The census shows 6 of these were on the strength of one Arm Div in 1945.....sorry I dont have my references at this time. George. |

Now that is an interesting photo......I have not seen this anywhere before...it is an even earlier light tank than the MkV or VI........The Horstman suspension used on carriers and light tanks can create some confusion.
Bovington has the stowage diagrams for the Vickers Light tank AA version, and there is a handbook for the Humber MkI AA. George. |
