Sadly closed and demolished!.....
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
One at Wodonga Victoria
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.
