A9 Cruiser Mk. I

A9 “Arnold” T3521 of 1st Battalion RTR, North Africa.

The Tank, Cruiser, Mk I (A9) was a British cruiser tank of the interwar period. It was the first cruiser tank: a fast tank designed to bypass the main enemy lines and engage the enemy’s lines of communication, as well as enemy tanks. A total of 125 were built. It was an effective tank in the French, Greek and early North African campaign, until the introduction of more heavily armoured Axis tanks.

A13 Mk.III Cruiser Mk.V Covenanter

The A13 Mk.III Cruiser Mk.V Covenanter was designed as a cheaper and lighter cruiser tank to replace the cruiser Mk. IV. It was armed with a two ponder gun and had 30mm armour. Problems with engines overheated made it unsuitable for deployment overseas, relegating it to training in the UK. Although the Mk. IV solved the overheating issues it was declared obsolete in 1943 and all remaining tanks scrapped.

A bridge-laying version of the Conevanter was developed and became the only A13s deployed operationally. A mine clearance version was produced but was not used operationally.

A16 Cruiser Tank

The A16 was a design for a heavy cruiser tank developed in Britain in 1938. A review of heavy cruiser tanks being developed resulted in the A16 being cancelled and work concentrating on the A15 instead.

TOG 1 Heavy Tank

The Tank, Heavy, TOG 1 was a prototype British heavy tank produced in the early part of the Second World War in the expectation that battlefields might end up like those of the First World War. It was designed so it could cross churned-up countryside and trenches. A single prototype was built, and followed by an improved model (the TOG 2), but interest faded with the successful performance of another cross-country design, the Churchill tank, and the mobile war that was being fought.

TOG 2 British Heavy Tank

The Tank, Heavy, TOG 2 was a prototype British tank design produced in the early part of the Second World War in case the battlefields of northern France devolved into a morass of mud, trenches and craters as had happened during the First World War. When this did not happen the tank was deemed unnecessary and the project terminated. A development of the TOG I design, only a single prototype was built before the project was dropped.
