Male Sponson Drawings?
Permalink   

I understand that Bovington doesn't have works drawings ("blueprints") for the male sponsons for either the Mark I/II or the Mark IV/V/V*.

Does anyone have a set of good scale drawings for either or both versions?

In the Stern Papers at the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives at King's College London there is a 1/8 scale general arrangement drawing (which as I recall is very detailed) of a Mk I from the Metropolitan Carriage Wagon & Finance Co. Can't remember if it shows the sponsons, though.

Other than that, you could try the drawings here (which appear to be based on those of Dick Harley from Tankette years ago):

Thanks for the link, Roger ... any suggestions on how to obtain a copy of the drawings from King's College as I'm overseas??

The "Plans Pack" which I received from Bovington contains only a single side view drawing of a male sponson. There are, however, several detailed plans of the 6-pr gun, sight, mounting and shield. Let me know if these would be helpful to you (but maybe wait for a day or two - my e-mail server is "experiencing technical difficulties".)
