Does any one have any info on production of tanks at Westwood the pics show MKIVs but theres no indication if these are being manufactured, although I would assume it to be the case it may be repair/maintenance...

I've been in touch with David Preston who runs the site. He doesn't know what they were doing there. Could they be there for trial fit and running of the 225hp engine?

They look a bit used.

He's keeping an eye out for any Tank related info.

In the Tylor engine photo there is 70ish engines, did they make all the Whippet engines? Caesar II has atleast one Baker Perkins Tylor.

Hi LT that would makes perfect sense, a testbed for the new engine....
perhaps this is when they figured more cooling was necesary...

David Fletcher contacted me about the Mark IVs at Westwoods a few weeks ago. Neither he nor I know why they're there so any information on this most welcome.
