VICKERS Mk.6 LIGHT TANK

Some Koestlerian synchronicity to start the week, items simultaneously foraged by blind chance from the extensive "VBCW Army Surplus" store in Ludlow. First up, a lovely colourised photograph:

A Royalist Vickers Mk.ViB "somewhere in Herefordshire" 1938.
Or possibly near Arras, 12th October 1939.

and then another lovely, a 28mm Vickers Mk. 6B speeding toward VBCW battle:

Painted, not colourised - 28mm Vickers Mk.VIB

and finally, the real thing:

Notes:

(1). 28mm Vickers 6B found on the web years ago - if you wish to claim the credit for it, please leave a comment!
