    Was the version with the 2 pounder ever produced, or was it just a prototype?

    Leafing through Chamberlain & Ellis, I can't find any Vickers Light tank (excluding AA versions) armed with anything heavier than a .5 inch Vickers machinegun.

    I think this is a different series. I found some information at this website:

    http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/

    It's called the Model 1937 there, but I don't know if that is the correct designation.

    This is very interesting. It makes the light tank look like a decent vehicle!

    You must have a newer edition - mine has nothing on this tank, and page 85 is the American M1 / M2 Combat car! ;)
