Default How many operational Matilds are left

Great photos Matt, pardon my ignorance of armored vehicles just how rare are operational Matilds out there? Must be a rare bird.

Cheers

Phil

Default Thanks for posting the link

Hi Matt

Thanks for posting the link, what is kind of strange is that I have actually seen the first four tanks shown in person. Small world.

Cheer Phil
