I remember reading that the Matilda never had pale blue as a camo colour, it should be pale grey!...

I was hoping to see the Matilda A12 at Bovington tank museum this year but its in the workshop with a broken gear box. Someone put modern gear oil in it which did no good

They were a pretty good tank, if they had been able to mount a bigger gun and be a little faster they would have been a force to be reckoned with!..

Have a flick through these interesting pic's of captured (and sometimes modified) Matilda's, including one that was captured and then recaptured by the Aussies in the Western Desert.

Infantry "Matilda II" page 1

Use the arrows at the bottom of the page to scroll forward. Well worth a look!
