Back to basics: Are there any photographs of the second prototype (Big Willie, Mother, etc) actually with the name HMLS Centipede "stencilled on the side", as is often claimed? Have I seen it and just forgotten?

Hi James,

Well I've had a good look through the different photos I have collected together over the years.......... and No Name.

I have a not to bad photo of the rear of the tank... nothing there or on the rear of the sponsons.

My best guess it was a code or nickname, maybe a name plate was put on her just after the war, when several tanks were grouped together in the hope of saving them. confuse

Thank you dreadfully, Hel. As I suspected, there seems to be no evidence for it, just as there is no primary evidence for "Number 1 Lincoln Machine." There is more to this than meets the eye. Certain facts are beginning to emerge. Stand by for a world exclusive.

Hey just noticed the Imperial War Museum site has added some more photos of Mother. Fab close ups... still no name plate though.

World exclusive?!! Tell me! Tell Me!! TELL ME NOW!!!!!             Ok I'll wait. :D
